I know this is offtopic, but it is not quite as simple as you make out (yes, I just RTFA).
Basically, you can't just move revenues around as and when you feel like it, there are rules you have to adhere to. It might seem trivial to you, but it obviously doesn't to the SEC and (more importantly) the stock markets. Also, RH's Chief Financial Officer resigned over this (by the look of it) so the company are taking this seriously themselves too.

We have always lived in dark times; it's not specifically now. Humans are hard-wired to be nasty and violent and it takes a lot of learning to override that hard-wiring. It's not even surprising what's going on now - it's inevitable and it will never end.
A rather dorky friend of mine once said in his Slashdot JE, "World peace will only be achieved when every human is dead". Sadly, he's right.
