okay so saying 'criminal' was not meant as such in the legal sense, more of the act of trying to take money for doing nothing.

Much like if a plumber came to my house, looked in my window, saw my sinks were not flooding and sent me a bill.

A doctor, who is not involved in my care -in any way- doing a drive by the nurses station, and billing me to pad their account is flat our wrong and dishonest. Since that is too many words, I insert 'criminal". Maybe I should insert morally first.
