Not something I did, but something a former ‘friend’ did:
Make a shitty dinosaur game, release it on Steam.
Get Steam to support your game’s items on the Steam Market Place.
Some other friend wants to buy a game?
You want to buy a game?
Use your admin powers to directly create rare in game items, then trade the items to your friend who then sells them, or you sell them yourself.
I think he managed to functionally defraud Steam of around a thousand bucks doing this.
… This is the ‘career path’ of a garry’s mod rp server admin, who would write viruses into the lua files which would be automatically downloaded and executed (escaping garry’s mod and steam!) by any one who joined his gmod server, such that either Garry or Valve had to completely rewrite the way lua was executed in the source engine to prevent this exploit.
Anyway, last time I talked with him, he’d gone fully through the 4chan kekistan to QAnon to actual outright white supremacist fascist, has had several of his Steam accounts entirely VAC banned.

He didn’t defraud Steam, he took advantage of other Steam users who are frivolous with their money, and Steam took their cut of the transaction.
You’re right, this is a more accurate description.
What’s the game? I think I played it. Was it released 10 years ago?
The Isle.
The one with the pedophile groomer sex-pest PR director.
I just now realized I know who Dondi is, as in, I know his real name.
He, like ParadygmShift, used to go by another username back in their gmod days.
I actually met that guy in person once, almost 20 years ago now.
I know his real name too, and he should absolutely be in prison if he isn’t.
