This was really outrageous. Thanks for sharing. Hard to believe someone would think that could work.

Imagine if it worked though. Crazier things have happened. Bruce Willis walked into the wrong audition when he was casted for Moonlighting.

Agorism FTW!
I wonder if the guy who did this was actually a high government official of some banana republic, who normally offers ordinary citizens hundreds of thousands of dollars if they'll help him get some money out of the country. :D

To quote Flannery O'Connor quoting someone's response to a good short story, "Well, that story just goes to show what some folks would do."

yawn... in da land of the terminally bored.
Wasn’t it Danielle Steele, who on the publication of her first novel, ferreted out the bookstore(s) that the Times used to compile their best seller list, and went and purchased all the available copies?

The store(s) reordered. Ms. Steele bought those. Another reorder and those, too, flew off the shelves.

Or, is that just urban myth?
