That's not what I said. For avoidance of doubt, allow me to rephrase the concept in the local language: paying a bunch of artists and engineers to build an app that generates minimal revenue, pulling it from the app store, then writing off the loss, is neither clever nor fraudulent.


Right, I get what you said.

I am arguing that it is in fact a fraud perpetrated against the taxpayer, even if it's not legally categorized as "fraud" at this time.


Why is writing off a loss fraudulent? This very website is funded by such actions.
