If billionaire Alki David is an honest man, 24-year-old Juan James Rodriguez, the man who streaked in front of Barack Obama at the president’s rally in Philadelphia on Oct 10, will be paid $1 million for his stunt, reports The Weekly Standard.
David is a billionaire shipping and bottling magnate who is known to carry out stunts, mainly by paying others to perform them. As the The Sun reported on August 17: “A WACKY billionaire has offered $1 million (£638,700) to the first person who streaks in front of US President Barack Obama. Loaded Alki David has promised to pay out the cash — providing the streaker writes the name of his website ‘Battlecam’ across their chest.”
“When I see the video and it’s confirmed…it won’t be cheque [that Rodriguez receives], it will be cash,” David, reached by phone tonight, told The Weekly Standard.
The requirements of the streaking stunt, David told me, are that the streaker must have been within “eye-shot and ear shot of the president, they have to scream the name ‘battlecam.com’ six times, and they have to be nude.”
