A New Career
Jacobson started a new career in private security under the employment of the Dittler Brothers. He soon climbed the ranks until he was the person in charge of supervising the production for Simon Marketing, a client of the company, together with their McDonald’s account worth $500 million. Those who knew him said that he marched through the printing operation with a little gut and slicked-back hair. He looked exactly like an ex-cop! This was a man who was quick with the jokes but still commanded respect. “He inspected workers’ shoes to check they weren’t stealing McDonald’s game pieces,” one of his colleagues said.

An Offer Too Good To Refuse
He was able to impress Simon Marketing with his attention to detail and police background. In 1988, they made him an offer that he could not turn down. “It was my responsibility to keep the integrity of the game and get those winners to the public,” he told the authorities later on. It felt like the sky was the limit when he was placed in charge of securing the Monopoly promotion. He oversaw the creation of hundreds of millions of pieces. He watched as the winning pieces were printed, stored them in the vault, sealed the envelopes, and put them in his vest. At 5 o’clock in the morning, he got to work before the bi-annual Monopoly game to keep an eye on the Omega III supercomputer as it made the prize draw.
