Peanut Fraud
Peanut Fraud is a crime involving the illegal acquisition, ingestion, materialization or dematerialization of peanuts, for the purpose of nutrition, monetary gain, monetary loss, squirrel raising or any other activity. It is considered treasonous by Internet League Blaseball. The first recorded case of Peanut Fraud happened in Day 2 of Season 3, when capitalists committed sufficient Peanut Fraud as to warrant the first non-siesta stoppage in Blaseball history while the Umps demanded atonement. Under international law, it is one of the worst crimes you can commit. It is one of the seven deadly Blaseball sins.
Some speculated that Peanut Fraud was linked to the possession of negative peanuts. It was confirmed that having negative peanuts was not Peanut Fraud, and that Peanut Fraud was much larger scale maleficence involving hacking activities beyond what one could do when using the shop as normal.
