Feds say it's the first US criminal case involving artificially inflated music streaming.

I provide places with my name misspelled all the time. That’s misrepresenting, but not a crime.

A billion dollar company got played. Change the code and pay out the money. Are they going to refund advertisers? Doubt it.

You’re not entering a contract with those people, let alone being paid. If you believe you’re getting paid in an untracable way, your govt would like a word with you.

I don’t know why you think the company got played, did you read the article? Dude is busted. Best case, they’re going to garnish his income for the rest of his life.

Well, did he not pay taxes? If that’s the case then yeah, he’s dumb.

Always pay your taxes!!!
