Case #6: Ship Gyp

After Saving for years, Oscar purchases a 40-foot cabin cruiser at a bargain price. Then, a week later he wins a contest for an all-expense-paid stay at a luxury resort on the island nation of St. Aretha. Oscar immediately takes some time off from work and heads for the Caribbean paradise. He is thrilled with his good fortune, but slightly puzzled because he can't recall entering the contest.

How did Oscar win a contest he never entered? What crime was involved, and who was behind it?

Did Oscar actually purchase a 40 foot cabin cruiser?
Did Oscar get automatically entered into the contest?
Did Oscar's job involve accounting at Dunder Mifflen?

Aww I missed helping out for the conclusion of the last one. Oh well.

Did the person he purchased the cruiser from enter him in the contest?

Was a murder involved?

Was theft involved?

Was fraud involved?

Did the crime involve the sale of the cabin cruiser in the first place? a.k.a. did the people selling him the cabin cruiser give him a bargain price so that they could commit the crime, whatever it may be? (for example, luring him away from his house so they could steal everything in it)

Was a fraction of the money he spent on the cabin cruiser used to pay for his luxury resort?

Was the cabin cruiser a stolen one?

Was the crime that the cabin cruiser had drugs or some other illegal stuff to transport to St.Aretha?




The chicken definitely came first.

Does the crime involve smuggling something? If so, does it involve the cabin cruiser in any way? Is the cabin cruiser the 'mule'?

Oscar won a contest he never entered, because there was never a real contest. It was a scam that took advantage of Oscar in the way that he unknowingly was smuggling something to St. Aretha, which obviously is a crime. The one's involved in selling Oscar the cabin cruiser - at a bargain price... - were behind it all.

So recap:
How did he win? It was a fake contest.
What was the crime? Smuggling
Who was behind it? The one/one's who sold him the cabin cruiser.


Am I close?

In case I am totally off with my last post:

Was Oscar the only one in this alleged contest?
Did the person that sold Oscar the cabin cruiser have any idea of the crime in question?

Was the contest a legitimate contest?

Is the primary motive of the people who awarded him the free tickets to get the boat transported to St. Aretha?

Is Oscar likely to have an unpleasant trip?
But why?

Is the crime commited by the same people who awarded the tickets?

Was Oscar lied to? Misled? Or did he simply not recieve vital information?

Yes and no

Alright then...
1. Did the cabin cruiser have anything on it intended to be transported to St. Aretha?

2. Did the cruiser at any time have drugs or illegal substances in it?

Is Oscar likely to have an unpleasant trip?

Yes.

Was Oscar actually going to get a all expannses paid vacation and the sucH?

Was Oscar sold the boat while it had drugs?

Did the person who sold him the boat know it did? If so, is that why he sold it at a bargain price?

Had the person who sold Oscar the boat intended him to keep it.

Is the person who sold Oscar the boat a police officer?

Yes, drugs.


Uhm, that's the definition of a mule..??

Again, maybe clearer: Did the cruiser serve the goal of transporting drugs? I.e. the drugs were onboard the boat, and the purpose of it was to smuggle it to the St.Aretha?

Was Oscar (and the boat) used as bait?

Line of thinking: He was in for a "unpleasant trip" and a Yes/No to the boat being sold by a cop. Since the boat isn't intended to deliver the drugs, possibly the people who want him to go to the island are thinking he will be intercepted by criminals?

No, the unpleasant trip is completely irrelevant.

and I should clarify:
Did the cruiser serve the goal of transporting drugs? I.e. the drugs were onboard the boat, and the purpose of it was to smuggle it to the St.Aretha?

Yes and no, but the example is wrong.
