Man defrauds Amazon to fix potholes their dodged taxes should pay for. Uses same tax loophole as them to avoid legal repercussions for the fraud. We should all be doing this. Think outside the box.

      OP should have included it.

      Here is an article about it.

      The dude who told you to google it yourself is a dick.

      This is the stupidest thing I’ve done online all day 🤦🏻‍♂️

          It’s on YouTube. Watched it a few days ago. Really good investigative journalism there that is.

        Important bit:

        So how did they do it? Well, Butler started by giving Amazon some of their money. In exchange, Amazon sent them some pothole filler. Butler then hopped in a van with a friend and drove around town filling in potholes. They made sure to wear reflective vests for safety — OK, let’s be honest, to look more official — so you don’t have to worry about them getting hit. And then, once they were done, they simply refilled the boxes with enough sand to ensure they weighed exactly as much as they did when they arrived. One quick return later, they had their money back. So in a way, Amazon did technically pay for the pothole repairs.

          I admit I never read the article because this douche-nozzle comes across as too self-satisfied for my tastes. I watched him game the restaurant rankings and have never found him compelling again.

          I just wanted to counteract the dumbass that responded to the first commenter.

          Now that you’ve summarized the thing for me… isn’t that just straight up theft? That sounds less clever iconoclast and more just common or garden criminal.
