In what is being referred to as the “Seinfeld Scam,” thirteen free-thinking entrepreneurs have apparently taken some inspiration from a 1996 episode of the show in which Newman and a pre-racist Kramer head to Michigan laden with aluminum cans, hoping to exploit the state’s generous 10-cent recycling rate for profit. Sure, the can-smugglers have technically committed fraud and cost Michigan millions of dollars, but they do deserve credit for at least borrowing a potentially lucrative plotline from the show; other, less-imaginative–but more law-abiding–fans are hardly getting rich from their Seinfeld-derived businesses and snapping up seven-figure mansions.
