I’m sure there is some BS rule forbidding my suggestion. But it truly is ridiculous that scofflaws can get away with brazen criminality like this.
Technically not criminal. But, no, I don't like this at all, either.
Legally, it is not criminal (otherwise somebody would likely be going to jail). But it’s much worse than if I were to find a way to steal $800 from the City. Specifically, it is approximately 1000 times worse. And I could go to jail for that. So morally and ethically I consider it criminal. It’s a good example of a corporate crime that is not properly handled by our legal system.
