That's 27000 streams/hour. How? Why did this take years to discover? How did this not get automatically detected within minutes?

WTF am I doing with my life if it is this easy to scam 2.4million in a year? 1 year and I could yoink it all and move to some BF island in the middle of nowhere with no extradition and live the rest of my life playing Blackjack and Hookers.
