> Is this not considered fraud?

Commenter is being sarcastic, but also pointing out some truth.

For instance, this mobile operator [1] "New S’pore MVNO Gorilla Mobile lets you turn unused mobile data into digital crypto tokens" taking advantage of the AI/crypto craze introducing a completely unnecessary crypto token into the product. It's just pure marketing. Although not exactly lying, you can get the drift the commenter was making.

I mostly jest but the best jokes have an element of truth. You and I might consider it fraud or at least unethical. Some might call it doing business. Consider Theranos - billions invested, board of famous old men with zero domain knowledge - due diligence not so much.

BTW: Bing is stalking me - I told Sydney it was over but it keeps heart facing me. Anybody know how to make it stop.
