You know the old saying: money doesn’t fall
from the sky? Well, it did on Black Friday at Mall of America. Via Minnesota CBS Local: Serge Vorobyov — who goes
by the YouTube handle “Serge the Car Hauler” — threw $1,000 in dollar bills
from the fourth floor of the Mall of America rotunda as a choir performed “Let
it Snow” on the ground floor below.
Serge said the reason he surprised everyone and
tossed out the cascade of cash is because he’s had a rough year and just wanted
to help other people on Black Friday.
“People think it’s an evil number, I thought it
was supposed to be a lucky number,” he said on a YouTube vlog explaining the
event. “I went through a horrible divorce, and she even took the cat and won’t
tell me where it is. I thought I would just spread some holiday cheer … pay it
forward.”
Unfortunately, Bloomington police did not share
his vision of yuletide cheer. They arrested him and charged him with disorderly
conduct.
A Mall of America spokesperson said his antics
could have caused a major disturbance and someone could have been hurt.
“I think all the people down there enjoyed it,”
Serge said
