CHINESE STUDENTS RECEIVED PRISON TERMS FOR A FRAUD WITH KFC FOOD
The students in China decided to capitalize on the loophole in the KFC fast food restaurant applications and were sentenced to imprisonment for it. It all started back in 2018, when one of the convicts discovered the possibility of purchasing food for coupons in the first KFS app and returning the same coupons in the second.

From that moment on, the student decided to take advantage of the creators' flaw and throughout the entire time received free food not only for himself, but also for resale.

Then he shared the information with four more acquaintances, who also began to use the flaw in software products.

As a result, the cost of the food received by the mastermind in 2.5 years reached $ 9 thousand, and his followers saved from $ 1.4 to $ 7.3 thousand.

The court found the students guilty of fraud and sentenced them not only to terms of 15 to 30 months, but also issued fines ranging from $ 155 to $ 930.

The KFC fast food chain is quite popular and widespread in China. The number of restaurants in China reaches 7,000, while in the homeland of the brand, in the United States, their number is only about 4,000.
