We got back to the old logo with them.

Max at one point was just Max, and we got them to go back to HBO Max through a prolonged campaign of bullying.

So I think you have to say we're three for three right now with Reese's going back to the original recipe.

Finally, let's close out the show with some drama from the slopes of Mount Everest.

Dozens of individuals have been charged in a poisoning scam that defrauded insurers of $20 million.

Here's how it all went down, allegedly.

While on a climb, guides put baking soda in tourist food to induce an illness similar to altitude sickness.

They then pressured the visitors to evacuate via emergency helicopters, who were also in on the scam, and then they billed travel insurers for the exorbitant cost using forged medical in-flight documents.

once the money was in their possession the loot was split between all the perps involved the hospitals that took in the patients the helicopter companies the trekking companies and the guides themselves all told according to authorities the scammer scored 19.7 million dollars in fraudulent insurance payments

Well, all the conditions that you mentioned make this Everest industry very ripe for scams.

And this has been going on for many years.

And Nepal authorities are trying to stamp it out once and for all because it's becoming a big issue for the climbing community.

Okay, that is all the time we have.
