Would it be worth it to get $500 in Greendot for $340

I can buy Greendot card numbers + exp date and CVV + the ability to register the card online to get a pin and a permanent card sent (<< I believe...) with a balance of $500 for roughly $320 in Ethereum from some friends.

I would purchase the Ethereum via coinbase with a 1.5% cashback card, with a 3.999% fee for the Ethereum.

Would there be a decently easy way to cashout the Greendot cards? Would this be worth it? Does anyone know if I can register multiple Greendot cards to myself?

Sounds mighty shady. Are your "friends" selling these codes from a guy wearing dark sunglasses selling out of the back of his van in the parking lot? Or are your "friends" on whatever replaced the Silk Road site?

"Mighty shady"?

Stop with the euphemisms.

This is fraud, it's theft, it's obviously criminal - and so is anyone who touches it. Countless people - including many FTers - get screwed by scumbags doing things like this. You're going to take a neutral stance, be non-judgemental, and give this thief advice?

Hey OP: I hope you get all the karma you deserve.

easy is always relative, what's easy for me may not be for you, and vice-versa;

it all depends on you if something is worth doing PROVIDED it is legit;

try registering one and let us all know.

Welcome to FT!

Wow, just wow. How on earth do you not know this is fraud, or do you just not care. Think about it.

This is evidently fraud, which we do not discuss on Flyertalk.
