In this case DD is essentially acting like a ticket scalper. And since DD screwed themselves, is there even a law broken?

No idea, I'm not a lawyer. But in the original post he mentioned that he "cut a deal" with the restaurant, which to me suggests that he got the $5k back, possibly in cash, from the restaurant. If he then pockets to tax he saved, that smells like tax evasion.

He then tweaked his story to say that this cost him $5k. Why did he say he was cutting a deal then?

  • You make a great point. They also mention they are an options trader on wall street, so $5000 easily could be throwaway money for a double-good cause
