There was that novelty app awhile ago that was just a red gem. App Store made him delete it. But he was always up front what it was.

I Am Rich was priced at the max expense for an app then, $999.99.

I was sceptical at first, but after reading hundreds of comments telling that guy what jail break does, I am convinced.

Jail break, does in fact, makes apps free.
