>costing potentially tens of thousands of people life changing amounts of money

Have any numbers on this implication? How much is life changing in your opinion? Is there evidence this many people were shorted near that amount?

It's hard to imagine that local wages are life changing for those "potentially tens of thousands of people" but paying market clearing wages would be significantly different.

If the amounts of money involved or the number of parties is small, why commit the fraud?

That doesn't address your claim. Do you have evidence for what you wrote?
