I read the article and watched the CNN piece, nothing to firmly suggest fraud on the part of the people buying the consoles at all. There was a person laughing that he took advantage of the situation but there is no way of knowing if he actually placed a fake listing.
Thank God I never said that he did post the fraudulent listing. I mean, he did say that he showed a fraudulent listing, then when asked for verification, showed her the retail price listing's description rather than the fake one, which would meet most folks' standards for fraud. But I can't prove that claim I didn't make that he posted the listing. You got me. Boy is my face red.
But thank you, its nice to establish some boundaries on what posters on various forums consider acceptable cause for serious accusations. Accusing people of fraud or conspiracy to commit fraud with no firm suggestion either way is obviously where you sit.
If you have to lie to set my standards for me based upon claims I didn't make, I'd say you're establishing more about where you sit. Namely, that you don't give a crap about truth.
Also, it'd be nice if you answered the other guy's question:

J Tyran, would you mind sharing the statute for the federal criminal offence?
Oh, I'll do it myself:

What taahaa8 claims to have done would qualify as far as I can see. Whether or not he posted the fraudulent listing.
This is apparently "no proof," though.
