Though this may be sloppiness as a legal defense. If you haven't actually jumped through the hoop of claiming that you won't just take the money and run, you really kind of can just take the money and run.

They specifically said they wouldn’t take the money and run in their TOS, so they’re well and thoroughly screwed on that front.

As I said, dump truck of legos.

Is failing to meet your TOS actually criminal and not just a tort?

This is the whole thing with "what if a bank but without the regulations?"

If you promise one thing, take their money, and then do another thing and it ends up in your pocket somewhere (which seems to have happened), then that’s fraud or embezzlement, depending.
