Wendy's 'Chili Finger' Scammers Go to Jail
Wednesday January 18, 2006
Anna Ayala, the Nevada woman who made headlines last year after claiming to find a severed human finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili, was sentenced to nine years in prison today for attempted grand theft and conspiracy to file a fraudulent insurance claim. Her husband, who admitted to buying the stray digit from an injured coworker for $100, was sentenced to 12 years — a fitting end to a hoax that reportedly cost Wendy's $2.5 million in lost sales due to bad publicity. Full story.

dumbass people who want to make a quick dollar
Is Anna going to sue the prison she is in? Her wages should be garnished to compensate for Wendy’s lost business.
That finger was worth more than a hundred bucks.
They can sew them back on, for one thing. It’s worth more like 5 grand for a pinky, and up to 20 grand if it’s an index or eagle finger. A thumb would be worth even more. Depending, whether it’s on the left or right hand.
People get less for murder
