Mileage question

Let's just say, if I knew a guy that figured out how to turn off the odometer in his acura, what are the legal repercussions for using it or selling the item and directions for using it.

The kid that I know, said that if he sells the information and equipment, it is for educational use only.

Here you go, i came across this while preparing for a different case...

Title 15, United States Code, Section 1984, provides in pertinent part as follows:

No person shall disconnect, reset, or alter or cause tobe disconnected, reset, or altered, the odometer of any motorvehicle with intent to change the number of miles indicatedthereon.

Title 15, United States Code, Section 1990c provides that one who knowingly and willfully violates the above provision "shall be fined not more than $50,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
Basically, if you tamper with the odometer, you can be fined $50,000 and/or imprison for three years. Pretty severe for a little bit of money from selling a "lower milage" car...

That constitutes federal fraud and selling the information is even worse cuz that's racketeering. And do NOT plan on trying to sell that bs here or you or he will be banned and the info will be deleted immediately. k bye
