Or it doesn't, because you have still "hacked them". Doing it in a seemingly bizarre way may only raise more suspicions; obviously you must have maliciously cheated them, since who would give them money?

Please don't put people at risk by giving such "advice".




What I was talking about was the question of being accused of theft (by having completed an order/purchase after lowering the price). This was also in the context of someone already intending to push a transaction with an attempted price change. At that point nothing you do with the price is going to prevent a "hacking" charge if there's going to be one, but you may be able to prevent a corresponding "stole from us" charge.
