138 - MCMILLION$
from Sup Doc: A Documentary Podcast
Like most great capers this one also started with a Post-it note. The note simply read: “McDonald’s Monopoly Fraud?" This is when we are introduced to the breakout “star” of the series, FBI agent Doug Mathews. He was bored and snatched the Post-it off a senior agent’s desk, an investigation began that would eventually lead to greed, deceit and the theft of millions of dollars from McDonalds. The story behind that investigation is the basis for McMillion$, an extremely entertaining six-part doc series on HBO. Like the best true crime, the central narrative of McMillions takes some surprising detours and delivers plenty of “you’ve gotta be kidding me” details. What do you get when you mix The Colombo crime family, millions of dollars, McDonalds, the FBI, and greed? McMillion$. Comedians and doc-heads Paco Romane and George Chen pair other fast food chains with board games, compare Cast-This-Doc castings for Doug Matthews, and rate the series.
