Calm down. It’s great that you can parrot an article written a month before the plan on his website was published, but that doesn’t make your arguments true.

He also has a proposal to incorporate a $1,200 dependent care credit into the EITC so low-income families who don’t have tax liability would benefit (at least as written, this would be in addition to the CTC, though I would not put it past the GOP to swap one for the other and claim they are expanding a benefit).

I don’t see how you can draw that conclusion at all, at least based on this from his website:

The deduction is capped at $3,000 per kid. If you have one, you well know that $3,000 is maybe 1/4 of what annual full-time care costs.

With deductible child care expenses capped at $3,000 a year, anyone who need full-time day care spends far more than is deductible. This isn’t about Barron, it’s about everyone who needs child care. Does it benefit those who spend more? If poorly implemented, but even so, this is not a giveaway to the 1%.

Until today there was a coupon for 40-50% off factory orders. That no longer applies and thus today’s “deal” is significantly worse for factory items.

What exactly is the purpose of the front pockets on suits? As noted, they are poor storage options as they cause the jacket to hang oddly and potentially bulge. But then why cut them in the first place?

(God bless Orrin Hatch for once.)

Lying in person and harming another person have nothing to do with fraud statutes. Obtaining undeserved goods or services of value through deceit, virtual or real, is all it takes.

If that’s how you think the law works, best of luck to you.

No, it isn’t. If they had played the game they would have earned the coins. Instead they tricked the server into thinking they did. If your coffee shop gives you a punch card, using your own hole puncher to get free drinks isn’t a grey area even though the coffee shop willingly gave me a free drink because I “hacked”…

The bodega up the street isn’t a bank and a bag of chips isn’t money, but you still aren’t allowed to walk in, claim you are a health inspector, and take some chips.

Did you read the question? Even the first sentence?

Fraud is using deception for financial gain. Here, the criminals are deceiving the servers into thinking games have been played in order to receive something of monetary value. Pretty easy fraud case, actually.

That’s an interesting question. I would guess that the EA terms of service forbid using bots, and thus any bot-earned coins are also fraudulently earned (as a bot is a deception aimed at making the server believe human beings are playing the game).

So a FIFA farmer who is a human playing the games in full to grind out…

Does EA get a cut of these transactions?

If you don’t see the crime here, you don’t know what fraud means. They allegedly used deception (sending the server false signals) to receive a benefit. This is no different than sending a bank false data that results in money that is not yours ending up in your bank account.
