(4,473 posts)According to http://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=785 fraud is "the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right." Did Matt Tribe deceive Olive Garden? No. Did he trick them? Again, no. Was he dishonest? Still, no.
Did he use his pass in a way that Olive Garden did not expect? Yes, but so what? What he did was not just perfectly legal, it was also moral.
For some unknown reason, you have decided that you don't like what he did. Well, boo hoo. Are you an Olive Garden stockholder? I suspect not. Your pseudo-indignation is completely bogus. Someone does something both good and moral, and you pretend to be offended. Your faked scorn makes YOU the ass, not Tribe.
