1) Sell counterfeit merchandise and threaten customers.
2) Get pissy with a TV investigative reporter.
3) Call back reporter, tell reporter you’ve changed and “witnessed the power of God,” and are willing to talk on camera.
4) Punch, spit, curse, and throw snowballs at the reporter when he returns, all the while being filmed on camera.
5) Barricade yourself in your store, even when the cops show up.
6) Have Anderson Cooper show the whole thing on CNN, after which it shows up on YouTube.
Good lord. Mike Wallace has been doing this sort of thing for 30 years. When will sleazy businesspeople learn??
