Note: Larceny denotes a taking, by fraud or stealth, from
another's possession; embezzlement denotes an
appropriation, by fraud or stealth, of property already
in the wrongdoer's possession. In England and in most
of the United States embezzlement is made indictable by
statute.


but doesnt seem to apply in this biz
Like oldtimer said, this is basically all void because of the TOS which helps to cover against legal action. So, if you read the TOS it's usually saying they can effectivley 'steal' from you / pay you what they want etc and there's nothing you can do and you're in agreement with that.
