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.

    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.

      *zon got to the point where they heavily counteract the refund game. They hardly check for items that are <$50, but, beyond that, there’s an increased amount of effort to make sure that they can punish the customer. If there are enough returned items laying around that it becomes an issue from a common account, they’ll actually look back over years to see the total value and if they shouldmake an example out of the person. That was a bit more common regarding high-priced tech items.
