Is Apple in cahoots with the mafia? Gregory McKenna thinks so. The Missouri man is suing Apple over claims that the the mafia is using the company's popular MP3 players to send him threatening messages.

CNET got a hold of the court documents, which explain,

The alleged motive for the threats was that the Mafia wanted McKenna to work as a fashion model for them at a New York modeling agency. McKenna said he called local police and the FBI field office, but allegedly nothing was done. This allegedly allowed the Mafia members to "stalk, threaten, attempt rape, and kidnap" him.

McKenna claims that the threats are coming from two devices--an iPod Mini and an iPod Shuffle purchase via eBay. The auction site was not targeted in the suit.

Sounds like a lot of time spent in a drug induced fog, resulting in parinoia. There is a million people out there who could be models why would they want him so bad...... unless he owed them for sniffing material.
