Presumably you are being sarcastic? There was no way he wasn’t going to get caught eventually.

#8This is so bizarrely stupid, but it does lead to some questions:
1. What did this man think was going to happen? That Amazon would never open the boxes he returned? Certainly after 370k worth I'm surprised he didn't get flagged much earlier.

Re amazon returns: either sent back to the third party seller or tossed into return pallets. If you watch some videos of them it becomes pretty clear amazon doesn’t check. A lot of electronics swapped out.
