"Money Hungry Mob" - Amber Thain (center), 14, of St. Petersburg, was one of several people who got knocked down at Baywalk Mall Saturday evening after Kevin Shelton (aka "The Money Man") released hundreds of one and two-dollar bills over the jam-packed mall courtyard. Thain was able to extrciate herself from the crowd and was later attended to by a paramedic for hyperventilation. Shelton organizes such money-releasing events around the country.
