It has nothing to do with tender, anything of value (i.e. convertible to or exchangeable for something else of value) can be involved in fraud. Jack traded the family cow for some magic beans. There was no fraud because the beans were in fact magic... they also took Jack down a path of crime that ended in a perfectly normal giant being killed for trying to defend his home and property... but still no fraud involved... just burglary and murder. Had the beans been fake, THAT would have been fraud.
All money is in fact symbols just like FIFA money. Some is hard (gold and what not) and some is numbers in a computer, but it is the agreement that there is value that allows these things to be used as a medium of exchange. One could argue that obtaining FIFA money outside the terms of service may not be fraud, but once conversion takes place the perpetrators have themselves to blame for creating the condition of fraud.
TFA states: "The FBI seized a home in California, over $3 million from several accounts listed under the names of all four defendants, and several cars." None of those assets were obtained directly with FIFA money, once conversion occurs it's a whole new game, and wire fraud was added because they did the conversion on-line. BTW, this is filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, not someplace where the jurors are likely to be tech savvy or even geek friendly.
Neither TFS or TFA use the term API, or the phrase Application program interface. What it says is "designed an app using the game's source code and developer kit". The app was not part of the game, and was not commissioned by the owners of the game. The purpose of the app was to report the completion of matches that never happened, purely for the self enrichment of the app developers. If someone tells you they will pay you X to dig a hole at a certain location, and you report back to them that you have completed the task (having not done the task at all) and you collect your wage for said task, that is fraud. It does not make it OK if you got paid by someone who did not verify that the task was or was not in fact completed before paying you... still fraud.
The steel is a ribbon run through edge grinders, hones, and polishers, then coated to reduce friction. From this ribbon blades are stamped (or maybe laser cut or plasma cut) and they are sharp and ready for assembly. If you skipped honing, polishing and coating you would save money, but the razor would grab and nick do to it's rough (not so much to the naked eye) cutting edge surface.
Too bad I am stuck in their fucking scam of a lease.
Indeed. If you had been stuck in the lease of a scam then a lawyer could have collected huge fees on the aforementioned fuckage... you, however would have still just got the fuckage.
Your yoga instructor must be so proud! A little more flexibility and you'll never leave the house again. Also you're going to want a gigabit connection for the webcam business... Not as a show, for private lessons. You are gonna be so rich!
Fleet has the advantages of not being associated with the site (tweeters are called twits by many), and of being a popular home enema. This works because the outcome of either fleet is a lot of crap... While we are at it, if someone is smitten with a twit, are they twitten? Or if you want to go with tweeter, are followers twetties? Warner Bros. may have an issue with that one...
"how ling it will take us to complete this additional work."
Who is this Ling and why is there a Chinese agent working on this?!
I'm assuming it's short for Ling-Ling, the giant panda. She was born in China, but moved to the US when she was very young. In fact, she spent her entire adult life in Washington DC, so she's probably as qualified as anyone inside the beltway to head up this important task. Unfortunately, she's been dead for over two decades, so she certainly won't finish this investigation before election day.

But how would people get their fake news and echo chamber positive feedback?
Are you working for the newsprint industry?
Yeah, I'm kinda using my liver...

All Hail Google...
LOL autocorrect sorry
Ah Hell Google!
But but but technology will solve all our problems! 3D printers! Elon Musk! Mars colonies!
No, butt butt butt technology...

Anyone browsing /. that does not have an interest in railguns should be ejected from the site... using a railgun!
not even worth a post... oops..
I think you are liable even if they don't scream.
I think you are also liable to scream...
I think you should for appearances sake anyway...
Laughing maniacally is right out...
...It does bring a smile to my face that their announcement is written in "Russian accent" English...
Am not seeing what is to be smiling about!
You perhaps are working with Moose and Squirrel?

I won't stand for pandas having access to women's washrooms. It's unnatural!
In more liberal states do they qualify as a furry?

Wow, now THAT'S a deep cover agent!
NO NO NO!!!
Sorry but it HAS to be:
"a fleet of tweets".
As in The candidate last night launched a fleet of tweets to discredit their opponent...
