Good example, though my impression was that was a quasi-viral TikTok trend that caught up random fools, not organized fraud?

  Is that contradictory? Seems like organized fraud would need a supply of random fools, and a viral trend, if you can manage one, isn’t a bad way to get that.

    You need a central actor who is benefitting from all the fools

    Organized fraud preys on disorganized fools, but this fraud didn't require or benefit from organization. You could just go do it on your own, and pocket the money until you got a visit from the cops.

  Yeah, I fail to see the organization.
