A Scam Aborted?

Was it an honest mistake or an intentional deception? Thus, would be the questions of people who were at the backstage of a recent event. A tradition of the event is the awarding of the coveted recognition to the most beautiful and the most debonair attendees of the night. While the event was going on, the hosts announced that the coveted recognition goes with a cash prize.

Finally, the names of the winners of the coveted recognition were announced. The envelopes were awarded and the winners were happy that they were recognized. When the envelopes were opened at the backstage, they were allegedly empty. The cash prize was not in any of the envelopes. It was not like the winners needed the money; rather, it was the principle. The manager of one of the winners demanded what happened to the cash prize. The manager persisted until the organizers were able to trace what happened to the money. Well, allegedly, one of the committee members had kept the cash (for safekeeping, perhaps).

The frenzy at the backstage for the search for the missing cash was so tension-filled that it merited a tweet from a controversial personality (CP). Of course, the mysterious tweet made the followers wonder at the meaning, and CP will not spill the beans, anyway. As always, the event lives to its consistent reputation of always having a controversy, be it with the choice of winners or the voters, themselves.
