Let's complete your sentence and try again. "switching seats
into a more expensive seat that he knew was more expensive and he did it hoping he wouldn't get caught..."
At the beginning of every UA flight I've been on the past few years the FAs make an announcement that you cannot move into an E+ seat and that if you want to use an E+ seat please let the FA know and she will arrange payment.
It's theft. Pure and simple.
