"Would You Like Fraud With That? The McDonald’s Monopoly Scam"

🎙️ Heists, Hustles, and Homicide

EPISODE TITLE: Would You Like Fraud With That? The McDonald’s Monopoly Scam

DESCRIPTION:

For over a decade, you thought you had a shot. You peeled stickers, ordered large fries, and dreamed of a million-dollar phone call from Ronald himself. But behind the grease-stained dreams was a fraud so outrageous, it makes the Hamburglar look like a saint.

In this episode of Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, your host Steve dives headfirst into the greasy depths of the McDonald’s Monopoly scam—where ex-cops became crime lords, mobsters cashed in Happy Meal tickets, and the FBI went undercover with fake mustaches and fake film crews. This isn’t just corporate fraud. It’s an all-beef conspiracy cooked medium rare with a side of racketeering.

Find out how one man turned fast food into fast money and stole millions while the rest of us were stuck collecting Baltic Avenue.

🎧 Tune in. Peel back the truth.

About the Podcast

Heists, Hustles, and Homicide
True Crime Stories
Welcome to Heists, Hustles, and Homicide — the true crime podcast where brains, betrayal, and blood all share the same spotlight.
I'm Big Steve your host, and each week, I’ll take you into the minds of the boldest criminals, the slickest con artists, and the darkest murderers history has to offer.
Some of these stories you’ve heard whispers of.
Some have been buried.
And some? They were never supposed to be uncovered at all.
We’ll crack open legendary heists that rewrote the rules…
We’ll follow the hustlers who schemed their way into the high life…
And we’ll revisit chilling homicides that still haunt investigators — and victims’ families — decades later.
But this isn’t just about crime.
It’s about people.
What drives someone to pull off the perfect con — or the perfect murder?
Is it desperation? Greed? Ego? Revenge?
Each episode, we’ll unravel one real-life case — beginning to end.
Some episodes will play out like thrillers.
Others will feel like puzzles missing a single, crucial piece.
And in every one, we’ll ask the same question:
How far would you go?
So whether you're into high-stakes break-ins, twisted lies, or unsolved crimes that keep you up at night — welcome.
You’ve found your new obsession.
This is Heists, Hustles, and Homicide.
Make sure to follow the show, and buckle up — episode one drops next week”.
Trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
