Not sure that's true. The fraudulent element there would be the clear and intentional misrepresentation. If the package were represented as a Bitcoin miner, that's one thing. However, representing it as color and styling for your terminal and then mining with it, that seems illegal. Would love a lawyer to weigh in.
