I’m stupid, can someone explain to me how this is illegal? Like morally questionable I get, but how is it illegal?
tempest@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is
obtaining property or illicit economic advantages through deceit.
Gifts I assume are property here
SPRUNT@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Jesus Christ! Can we get some of that law in the US?!
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m definitely not a legal expert, especially for Japan.
but this sounds like a con artist.
hark@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We need to ban birthdays so this never happens again.

Monkey’s paw curls. Now abortions are legal and forced.

So… We will be just spawns now?

At the same time?

In one bed no less. Must be an Alaska king
Brekky@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Take it he wasn’t reciprocating the gifts?
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 10 months 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 10 months ago
Do you get someone a gift if you’re only known them for a week? Serious question.
altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Is that the gift economy I keep hearing about?
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 10 months ago
no
FelixCress@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Genius.
ipitco@lemmybefree.net 10 months ago
That’s a super shitty thing to do
He’s basically cheating and stealing from 35 people
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
Kinda clever.
knight_alva@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hoping that isn’t real because that’s kind of an f-ed up definition for fraud. Also, what a legend.
onslaught545@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
It’s pretty much the textbook definition of fraud. What are you talking about?
He intentionally deceived 35 people for material gain.
knight_alva@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
Zahtu@feddit.org 10 months ago
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
FelixCress@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s what politicians do every election. Just saying.
RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Well there’s your shady gray bit right in the definition. Is it unlawful to lie about your birthday?
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Does either of those fill though?
NatakuNox@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Found the guy with 35 girlfriend.

I’m down to 28 now. Apparently some of them saw this thread …

Look at that smile. He regrets nothing.
Also: Daily Mail source?..this story is entirely fiction and made up, guaranteed.
RidderSport@feddit.org 10 months ago
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.
knight_alva@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

This guy cheated on 35 different women for gifts and you go:
I hope that’s a /s 😔
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
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.
knight_alva@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I mean the article itself is apparently satire so yeah.
