Author drops cash to promote new book
An author in India dropped about $10,000 in cash at a soccer field to promote his new book. The author is Tung Desem Waringin and he circled the soccer field 8 times dropping the cash.

I wonder how many of those people who picked up the money are actually going to buy his book. If it was me, I'd keep it.

You actually mean "dropped" cash. Wow.
Probably a business book or something. He's just proving he has money. We'll see if his plan actually works though. If not then his business advice might not be all that great.

It's all about promotion and being on the news. I doubt the author cares whether or not the ppl who pick up that money will buy his book.

Exactly. $10,000 isn't bad to be on the front page of CNN and other sites. That's cheap book promotion.

Now that you say that, it seems like he's a smart dude after all.
