Fakes and Frauds
The "McMillions" story is what many call the 12-year-long scheme run by an allusive man only known to many as "Uncle Jerry", a scheme that cost fast-food giants McDonald's 24 million USD. But who was Jerry Jacobson? And how did he manage to pull off such an elaborate operation for over a decade? Join host Glenys and comedian guest Andrew White as they delve into the larger-than-life story, discuss other shady competitions and periodically mispronounce the names of some of the key characters in the story.
