A Missouri man is suing Apple, the St. Louis Police Department, unknown agents of the FBI, a private investigator and an auto mechanic, accusing the defendants of conspiring with the Mafia to stalk, extort and torture the plaintiff.

Gregory McKenna claimed in his lawsuit filed in a U.S. District Court in Missouri that after purchasing an iPod shuffle on eBay he discovered that the device was manufactured “with an illegal receiver as the Mafia proceeded to transmit extortion threats and audible harassment to it.” The alleged motive for the threats was that the Mafia wanted McKenna to work as a fashion model for them in New York. McKenna further claims that after purchasing a new iPod mini he realized it was bugged as well and would state “I'm about to kill him” in sync with a song.

McKenna said his calls to local police and the FBI field office were disregarded and that the private investigator he hired to search his home and car first claimed he found listening devices, but when later questioned by police about his findings, said he found nothing.

“Well if you have bugs you should call an exterminator, not the Police,” an officer reportedly told him before recommending examination by a doctor.

The lawsuit seeks $14.2 million in damages and trial by jury.

Do you believe that two years of a deeply divided Congress will produce the stimulus for more civil and collaborative government change or an even greater political divide?
