A guy made $10 million from generated songs — now he’s facing 60 (!) years in prison. The most epic scam in the history of streaming services went down like this:

— The genius invented a bunch of fictional musicians;

— Generated hundreds of thousands of tracks under their names;

— Used an army of bots to stream his own songs on Spotify and other platforms for 7 years straight (!);

— This epic plan earned him $110K a month;

— The scam ran from 2017 to 2024, and before AI tools existed, he was writing simple songs himself.

He miscalculated, but where exactly?
