Is it a crime?

I am not quite sure I can see an analogue for the behavior explicated in the linked article below that would depict it as a crime... Hoaxes have been going on since the beginning of man... is there really a difference? If I made a fake lottery ticket so that a friend of mine thinks he wins 200 million dollars, and then when I tell him it was a joke, he blows his brains out because he does not want to go back to the despair of living paycheck to paycheck, is it really my fault?

Was this woman and her associates truly human scum that should be ostracized socially? Absolutely, have they contravened law? I think not.
