Eighteen years ago today, a notorious crime occurred. Infamous for its audacity, it brought a wave of international condemnation down upon the perpetrators, and seemed like the return of an age we thought was behind us. I am speaking, of course, of Charles Ingram cheating on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Now, it would be hard for any crime to top cheating on a game show so brazenly (and incompetently). But what if someone (or multiple someones) had managed it? What if another crime was committed in September 2001 that overshadowed this controversy?
