Wendy's chili scammers get the finger

And now . . . this:

A couple who planted a human finger in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's fast food restaurant to extort money were each jailed for nine years on Wednesday.

Judge Edward Davila also ordered Anna Ayala, 39, and her 43-year-old husband, Jaime Placencia, to pay the US fast food chain 21 million dollars in damages it says it lost because of bad publicity from the case. . . .

Investigators found that the detached digit came from a Las Vegas construction worker, Brian Rossiter, who lost it in an industrial accident then sold it to Placencia for 100 dollars.
