U mean new car price is fraud

Definitely that too. Anon did break the spirit of the rules, which is the social compact, which is not to say that the compact is correct, or should be perpetuated. It was definitely dishonest of them though. Or at least disingenuous.

Legally, no. Which of course is the most common way to interpret that word.
Did he defraud the dealership? Absolutely! And frankly, good for him. The market for buying new cars in our country is one of the more exploitative systems that our society has managed to create, and that’s saying something.

Whats the difference between “Fraud” and “Defraud”?
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
“Fraud” is a legal definition.
“Defraud” is basically defined as “doing fraud” but from context it just means “swindling someone in fully legal ways”

The word fraud is almost always used in a legal context, but technically it’s just the noun describing the act, while the word defraud is the verb designating the act of committing fraud.
But, I like your explanation, cause it’s stone and concise!

Pretending you don’t know about something you obviously do smells a bit like fraud, and I bet there’s a weird Latin phrase for it.
But IANAL.
