+ "description": "In my letter to His Excellency Bertrand Lortholary, the Ambassador of France to China, I articulate the critical nature of ongoing legal issues involving McDonald’s Corporation. I emphasize the urgency due to the looming statute of limitations for serious frauds committed in 2011 and 2017. Detailing the extensive documentation submitted to the FBI, I highlight the involvement of McDonald’s France in fraudulent activities and the tacit approval from higher-ups in the corporation. The testimony of a McDonald’s France employee provides damning evidence, raising questions about the company’s internal compliance with legal standards. With mathematical analysis backing my claims of rigged sweepstakes, I assert the need for a thorough investigation. My correspondence also touches on the troubling experiences I’ve had with the French legal system, including threats and a miscarriage of justice in my case against McDonald’s. I implore the Ambassador to take immediate action, underscoring the importance of this issue for the economic and legal integrity of France. This letter is a heartfelt appeal for justice and a call for transparency, urging a comprehensive criminal investigation into McDonald’s and its affiliates for their involvement in serious fraud and money laundering.",

Additionally, I challenge the assertion that “PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE CHANCES OF WINNING.” I propose that, theoretically, a wealthy enough individual could secure all prizes by purchasing all game stamps, thereby guaranteeing victory, which contradicts McDonald’s claim.
