Am I Just Lacking the Larceny Gene?

This 10/9/21 Business Insider article describes a guy who kept returning stuff  to Amazon, but not the stuff he ordered, stuff much older and with different serial numbers.  Then he sold the stuff that Amazon shipped on eBay. $290,000 worth so felony wire fraud.
