Swift Justice: Ticket Thieves Hit Rock Bottom with $635K Scam Busted!
Prosecutors allege two employees exploited a StubHub loophole to steal and resell nearly 1,000 tickets, raking in $635,000. Most were for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, but Ed Sheeran and Adele also made the setlist. If convicted, these Swifties could be facing a different stage—courtroom, not concert.
