    There was some ghoul on twitter recently saying what they'd do if they had no money, and that was grift a $10,000 credit card and use it to set themselves up as a middleman for tree clearing work, using cheap undocumented immigrant labour and undercutting the competition so he could raise prices and expand the franchise.

    At no point did the scam (which had multiple fatal flaws but assuming it works here) involve the "business owner" doing any actual work except illegally littering the street with signs advertising their supposed business which was actually just a middleman money pump exploiting cheap labour on both ends.

    Usually I'm used to a fig leaf of obfuscation in these schemes, but no, full mask off "I'm exploiting labour for profit and that's good actually"
