The FTC acknowledges its suit is based in large part on revelations from a 2018 CBC News/Toronto Star investigation, in which reporters went undercover posing as "ticket brokers" and exposed how Ticketmaster recruited mass scalpers and knowingly let them use hundreds of fake accounts to circumvent ticket-buying limits.

It's all about marketing, thinking Ticketmaster said to themselves, if these scalpers are making so much money, we're missing out on profit, the crackdown on scalpers is probably more about trying to capture lost revenue. Hi, my first post on this site. :P
