Getting people to pay for digital media in the era of mass piracy (Spotify, Deezer, Netflix)
Starting a taxi company by ~~ignoring~~ frauding all the regulation related to taxi operation, ( Uber)
Tons of pseudo science like energy therapy which are not much different from straight up witchcraft.
A thought also for real estate developer who buy land in high-flood-risk area, and still manage to sell the houses, these ones also should be in jail
TBF people also enjoyed parts of it that aren't regulation related, such as upfront cost calculation. Scamming customers is harder and even in those events, it's possible to get refunds.
Yeah even in countries where Uber only works with normal taxi drivers, it's still much better than getting a cab from the street. It may have started with fraud but these apps actually provide a needed service.
