Good example, though my impression was that was a quasi-viral TikTok trend that caught up random fools, not organized fraud?
replyIs that contradictory? Seems like organized fraud would need a supply of random fools, and a viral trend, if you can manage one, isn’t a bad way to get that.
replyOrganized fraud preys on disorganized fools, but this fraud didn't require or benefit from organization. You could just go do it on your own, and pocket the money until you got a visit from the cops.
replyYou need a central actor who is benefitting from all the fools
replyYeah, I fail to see the organization.
replyThis is a poor example though, because I don't think anyone got away with it? And it was viral, but not organized.
