So, it's not fraud if I tell my grandma with dementia that it's my birthday once a week so she keeps giving me birthday checks?
Your grandma having dementia changes the formula a bit.

Just because these were voluntary non-reciprocal dispositions of wealth would not automatically make this not fraud in Germany at least.
I talked with a few fellow students and their gut feeling was that this could be fraud as well. After talking a bit about the matter we had quite a few issues apart from the voluntary aspect as well.
All dispositions in fraud are voluntary for one, otherwise this would be in the ballpark of robbery and the like (as in involuntary dispositions).
The act of giving a gift is not necessarily irreversible as there are ways to fight the disposition on grounds of fraud for one. Which would tick one of the requirements of fraud: the disposition needs to be unlawful.
Anyway you're right in that there are quite a few reasons to conclude this isn't fraud. If it is, it would be a very "heavy" case which would make this a felony in Germany.
I’m no legal scholar by any means but I think in America this would be a civil suit not a criminal case unless the amount of money involved was tremendous.
I won’t even try to guess how it would shake out in Japan.

This guy cheated on 35 different women for gifts and you go:
Also, what a legend.
I hope that's a /s
I mean the article itself is apparently satire so yeah.

Seems to fit the official definition pretty neatly. Colloquially, I tend to agree with you, there's a spectrum for fraud. But this still counts as fraud. It's a fraudulent misrepresentation of the truth to convince others to part with something of value (a gift).
The fact that it's a gift doesn't change that this is fraud, only the severity of fraud in a legal sense.
Fraud in the sense that the guy is lying and profiting from it, sure. But the common / google definition of a word and the legal definition/ application of that word are two completely different things.

Take it he wasn't reciprocating the gifts?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I think the only way this makes sense is that he'd start dating someone, say his birthday is coming up, dump them after receiving the gift and repeating the process.

We need to ban birthdays so this never happens again.

Do you get someone a gift if you're only known them for a week? Serious question.

Found the guy with 35 girlfriend.
I’m down to 28 now. Apparently some of them saw this thread …

Monkey's paw curls. Now abortions are legal and forced.

Most politicians are absolutely guilty of fraud.
I'd even go so far as saying that fraud is pretty rampant in all levels of society.

I'm stupid, can someone explain to me how this is illegal? Like morally questionable I get, but how is it illegal?

According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is
obtaining property or illicit economic advantages through deceit.
Gifts I assume are property here

I'm definitely not a legal expert, especially for Japan.
but this sounds like a con artist.

It's pretty much the textbook definition of fraud. What are you talking about?
Fraud is defined as intentional deception to deprive a victim of a legal right or to gain unlawfully from a victim.
That's what most politicians do every election. Just saying.
laws don't apply to politicians you silly
