Is selling STOLEN . . .

. . . goods online considered "Wire Fraud", or some other type of offense. Either way, it would be considered a Federal Offense, right?

If you're considering this: What are you a **DELETED** idiot? Yes it's a federal offense.

If you're just wondering: Yes, it's a federal offense, punishable my law.

Watch your language around here. It is not tolerated.

Omega, watch your language.

And I assure you EvilRick isn't considering it. There is a backstory to this.

Clean up your language. We don't tolerate that here.

You might want to check out ER's post count while your at it too. He's a valuable member here and wouldn't do such a thing.

He's asking because him and a few other members got a member that was trying to peddle stolen items on the boards busted.

You mght want to take a look around before you go posting like that.

If they use USPS to ship (or even take payment) it's also mail fraud. I don't know if other shippers can get in on the mail fraud or if that's USPS only.

Seeling stolen stuff is bad..unless you are microsoft or a similar organization...then it goes from being "illegal" to being "legally unclear"


I had a friend who didnt like the word "pirated"...he preffered "legally challenged"! lol
