Again speaking in the abstract, a lot of fraudsters are idiots, delusional, arrogant and driven by hubris, etc.
And regarding sales tax, I am aware of instances where there was a complete paper trail, with the buyer requesting an item be shipped to a state that had no sales tax in order to avoid it. I am sure many cases involve cash, but again, ease of detection does not prove to me the offense did not occur.
