Won $2.8 million to lose it
Hey monkeys,
Found this article on WSJ. I personally found it to be humorous.
So here's the summary. A team of fishermen won the White Marlin Open, the world's largest fishing tournament, by reeling in a 76.5 pound white marlin and were awarded $2.8 million but were also subjected to a polygraph test, because it is required for all winnings above $50,000 due to past attempts of cheating.
Originally, two of the three men were wired up and asked:
“Did you commit any tournament violations Tuesday?”
“Did you commit any tournament violations on your vessel?”
“Did you commit any tournament violations?”
Both failed.
And then, just like anyone else would have, they decided to fight for $2.8 million.
A few weeks later, Mr. Heasley, along with two crew mates, one of whom said he was hung over after drinking 15 beers the night before, according to court documents, took another polygraph test. All three failed.
Thoughts?
