Using fake/other identities is squarely in the realm of fraud, not loopholes, if that is what happened.

Edit: The article details that part of the strategy employed was to attempt to get a refund for any flight that ended up not being delayed, which would probably qualify as fraudulent intent (I think? IANAL).

They didn't use any fake identities, and booking on behalf of other people is not fraud.
