President Obama was at a rally in Philadelphia and some guy decides to streak the crowd. The guy, Rodriquez, did the such actions to make one million dollars. Rodriquez is currently unemployed and desperately needed the money for family needs. He read about the offering on the internet and felt the need to do it. The Rodriquez had to follow specific points and meet all the requirements in order to get the money. The prize money would be rewarded from a billionaire, Alki David. After running naked and being arrested by police, Rodriquez did not receive the money. He did not get the one million dollars. Rodriguez’s attorney states, "David has agreed to give him enough cash to pay rent for six months and will also pay some part of the cost of medical treatment for his sick sister." "David issued a statement explaining that Rodriguez did not meet all the criteria, although he came very close and his personal story about why he decided to take such a risk for his family moved me to provide him with a generous consolation gift.” I feel as if this was a disrespectful goal to want to accomplish....but that is from MY perspective. I don't have anyone in my family with any life threatening illness' so I don't see the need. As far as Rodriquez; its evident that this was a opportunity to help his self and his family out. A "by any means necessary" type of situation. So even though he didn't get the job done, he still got a slight piece of the pie. But even still, "Rodriquez insists he satisfied all the requirements of the challenge and has the video footage to prove it." so if necessary, Rodriquez may have a good enough argument in court. He may be eligible for the million after all.---NicHaynes
