> It isn't really fraud unless we start regulating and prosecuting it. And we don't, right?

I can't let this stand. Actions were right or wrong before the first regulation was written and before the first judge banged his gavel under an acacia tree. Wrong actions continue to be wrong no matter what laws and judges say.

Lying to make a sale is fraud, whether it's regulated and prosecuted or not.
