A wealthy businessman hired over one hundred homeless people in Pasadena, California to wait in iPhone lines outside of the Apple Store there.

Apparently, he promised pizza, cigarettes and $40 for these folks to camp out overnight in hopes of getting vouchers to purchase two iPhones, the maximum allowed per person in line. When there was some confusion at the Pasadena store, and not every voucher was honored, so what did the guy do?

Go on, take a guess…

If you guessed that he reneged on the deal, you didn’t win an iPhone, but that’s the right answer.

“Some people claimed they got paid their $40, but I didn’t get mine,” says one man offered the deal in the video clip below. “If [the rich guy] is a scam artist, then he should get what he deserves.”

I suspect that what this man is going to get—and what he probably deserves in spades—will be Internet infamy as soon as someone figures out who he is in 5, 4, 3, 2… it’s only a matter of time, probably, before his identity will be known. Two people were arrested in connection to this scam.
