That’s because it’s fraud.
Nah. It's not fraud if they don't get any benefit from it. Since they refunded the single, solitary person who pledged $3/month, then shut it all down, it's all good from the fraud angle.

#17For some time the most well known youtubers would receive spam replies on all of their tweets with links to counterfeit merch sites.
If you search for the the top handful of YT creator names on Amazon or eBay you’ll find loads of bootleg merch (sometimes with hundreds of reviews!)

So I'll chip in that for basic theft, one of the core elements is intent to permanently deprive the original owner. So if someone steals money, changes their mind, and then returns it, that's still theft. And taking money to spend, with a promise of returning money later, still counts as theft. But if the intent all along was to return it the next day, stored safely the entire time, that's not theft.
Obviously intent is hard to prove, so don't try to pull that off without a lot of evidence and/or a very understanding target.
