Don't know what jurisdiction you're in, but fraudulent transactions[1] == "theft" in the colloquial/moral sense where I'm from. Malice is not requisite to defraud.
[1] I charge you for services but do not provide them.
- ruswick 13y agoWhere I'm from, theft requires intent. Fraud requires intent. If money is lost through unintentional error, there may be legal repercussions, but it will almost assuredly be a civil suit. I don't see how it would be untenable to charge anyone at Facebook with an actual crime for this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraud http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraud http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft
