Ok so I have always been fascinated with large populations of people being "fooled" by something that seems completely legit, but ends up being totally rigged. I have compiled a short list of them; some you may have heard of, some maybe not. I do not intend this to be a full write-up on each fraud, but it helps red-pill normies when you show other examples of how millions of people were duped.

  1. The McDonalds Monopoly Game Fraud.

We all know the game at mcdonalds: Buy an item and pull a gamepiece off the item to see if you've won, up to $1million. But how many of you know that for a decade or more, the game was RIGGED. How so? A single man in a security management position took the winning gamepieces and swapped them with non-winning pieces and he distributed/sold the winning gamepieces to "plants" around the country. Watch the documentary series: McMillions to see the story; its fascinating. Tons of security protocols were put in place, including locked breifcase that was handcuffed to this guy, and a woman who was always with him as a witness....EXCEPT when he went into the bathroom....which is where he made the switch.....which compromised the ENTIRE GAME for the ENTIRE COUNTRY. All the good intentions of McDonalds and the company they contracted to handle the game were ruined by a single man motivated by greed and enabled by a few moments of unsupervised privacy.

  1. The Hot Lotto Fraud Scandal

A security chief at a multi-state lottery commission was able to rig multiple jackpots over the course of a decade. He initially reported security holes to his supervisors and was ignored. Eventually he used those flaws to put a line of code in the software that allowed him to predict what the lottery numbers would be on a particular date. He was responsible for defrauding multiple states out of 18 million dollars. Initially he gave a small winning ticket to his brother and eventually his greed led him to rig a jackpot for $14 million. He eventually was caught due to using suspicious shell companies to attempt to claim the winnings.

  1. The PotRipper Online Poker Fraud Scandal from Ultimate Bet/ Absolute Poker:

This scandal involved a suspicious hand at the very end of an online poker tournament where a player had 10-high by the river and his opponent went all-in....and the player with 10-high called...and won. 10-high was the winner because his opponent was bluffing with....9 high. When the bluffing player lost to such a suspicious call, he cried foul and complained that his opponent had to have been able to see his cards to make the call. Eventually, someone at Ultimate Bet leaked hand histories that showed a "super user" was viewing each table that the winner was at. This super user was able to see the hole cards of every single player at the table and was feeding this info to the eventual winner of the tournament.

This revelation led players to come forward with other suspicious allegations during high-stakes cash game play at AbsolutePoker, the sister-site to UltimateBet. When all the analysis was gathered, it was discovered that the same SuperUser premise was behind a multi-million dollar fraud perpetrated by basically 2 people; the owner of AbsolutePoker, Russ Hamilton, his administrative manager. He would create a username, and he would play high-stakes poker at a 1v1 game, with the insane advantage of BEING ABLE TO SEE HIS OPPONENTS CARDS. Once he started to look like he was unbeatable and nobody wanted to play against him, he would have his admininstrator authorize a username change, and he would do the same thing under a new name. Eventually, he would sell this superuser access to a few of his friends to use as well.

When the performance results of his usernames were scatterplotted, it was obvious that he was cheating. His win-rate was astronomical; far better than the worlds' best players. Here is a link to the scatterplot for reference, the yellow dot is "PotRipper" one of the names he used prolificly:

All of this was accomplished by the unsupervised access of essentially 2 people; and the unsuspecting players who thought the game was fair and honest.

There's a great documentary on this called "Ultimate Beat" on youtube.

The common theme in all three of these examples is: A few bad actors in the right place and the illusion/assumption of security and propriety can make any contest wildly corrupt.

The theme for how they all get caught is: A whistle-blower and data analysis can take them down. The world has so much data of what an honest contest looks like, when a dishonest contest takes place, the data LOOKS much different. The data doesn't lie; the data doesn't care if you get away with your crime.

As I hear all the normies claim that a fraud of the 2020 election is simply unimaginable, I couldn't help but think of these frauds and how the world was all fooled...for a time.....until the truth came out.

Feel free to add your own fraud stories to help illustrate just how believable it is that people who want money and power would rig a contest/lottery/game/election.

Access plus greed= potential corruption

Good info, very interesting comparison, makes a good point that it takes a small number of people being in on big cheating.

Exactly. And they're all motivated to keep it quiet because of fear of punishment and the obvious benefits of money and power.
