After showering California with thousands of dollars distributed in small $100-$210 increments, the wealthy businessman behind the Hidden Cash Twitter profile is poised to drive New Yorkers into a shameless frenzy of money-grubbing greed. So basically just another average day in NYC.
San Francisco real estate investor and entrepreneur Jason Buzi, who had been anonymously stashing money in West Coast cities until he was identified by Inside Edition last week, told Anderson Cooper that he'll be making it rain in Brooklyn and Manhattan this weekend. Dance, monkeys, dance!
Buzi announced he will be doing two drops in NYC at unspecified places and times this weekend, one in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. So stay tuned to Hidden Cash on Twitter for clues to the money's location, and get ready to claw your fellow New Yorkers' eyes out over a hundred dollar bill.
