    Hoping that isn’t real because that’s kind of an f-ed up definition for fraud. Also, what a legend.

      It’s pretty much the textbook definition of fraud. What are you talking about?

      Fraud is defined as intentional deception to deprive a victim of a legal right or to gain unlawfully from a victim.

      He intentionally deceived 35 people for material gain.

        It’s a poor definition because gift exchanges are strictly voluntary and non-reciprocal engagements. I’m not saying what he did was ok or even legal in other contexts. My only point is that I wouldn’t consider this fraud because the victims were not compelled to give. This isn’t a Nigerian prince scam where the victims were promised greater returns at a later date. These victims gave with the expectation of monetary loss.

        I do Not See the fraud here. If He would have given the Girls His real Birthday, He would have still received the Same amount of Gifts. Nothing would have changed in exchanging the Gifts.

        The only Thing, which it probably helped at, was that He could plan ahead for the birthdays, avoiding a Potential meet-in of each girl, that He dated on the Same Day. The only Thing He is gullible of ist deceiving the Woman on their Relationship. Which is Not an offenes in a legal Sense. There is no punishment for 2-timing, so 35-timing should Not have either

        That’s what politicians do every election. Just saying.

        There is no mention of any consideration (a legal term meaning he didn’t promise them anything in return) provided by the “boyfriend”.

        This would not be fraud under English common law.

        Well there’s your shady gray bit right in the definition. Is it unlawful to lie about your birthday?

        deprive a victim of a legal right or to gain unlawfully from a victim

        Does either of those fill though?

      Also: Daily Mail source?..this story is entirely fiction and made up, guaranteed.

      Fraud is a very complicated crime. I absolutely hate that I need to know the basic for my law degree as it fills a thousand pages of commentary literature in just one of the largest German legal commentaries because it’s just that complicated.

        As I said in another reply, my thinking is thus:

        It’s a poor definition because gift exchanges are strictly voluntary and non-reciprocal engagements. I’m not saying what he did was ok or even legal in other contexts.

        There’s a certain threshold when you’re no longer upset, just impressed. Like if someone ate my slice of cake vs they ate the entire fridge.

    I’m stupid, can someone explain to me how this is illegal? Like morally questionable I get, but how is it illegal?

      According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is

      obtaining property or illicit economic advantages through deceit.

      Gifts I assume are property here

      I’m definitely not a legal expert, especially for Japan.

      but this sounds like a con artist.

    Take it he wasn’t reciprocating the gifts?

    source
    • ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think the only way this makes sense is that he’d start dating someone, say his birthday is coming up, dump then after receiving the gift and repeating the process.

      • daggermoon@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Do you get someone a gift if you’re only known them for a week? Serious question.
