6. They are going to have to include a bit more detail than that

No, you can't indict and convict people of crimes without revealing how they did what they did.

Maybe they were sold to the drivers as "pre-paid" or some nonsense, but it seems a little odd to hatch a scheme where you are going to be involved in relatively small margin unit sales of thousands of items.

The complaint does mention specifically that the truckers were material haulers, so I'm thinking there is probably a trucking company involved at some point, because they weren't just peddling these in the truck stop parking lot to a bunch of gullible truckers.

If they had been doing that, they might as well have simply gone into a legitimate business for all the effort it would have required.

But, hey, it's not like they stole the road or anything. It's still there and everyone else can use it so, no harm, no foul, amirite?
