It’s illegal to pretend that one’s parents are wealthy.


Good thing not many OTers in Washington.
 
Nah, they'd be fine.

Most of those OTers are kids pretending their parents' wealth is their own (see: C4DeX).
 
Have you considered the possibility that it is simply bullshit?

Go try to find that law on the books.

Every state's got all their shit online nowadays.
 
There are tons more of these on the books. They are no longer enforced and if anyone ever tried to enforce them, many would be struck down for vagueness or the like.

Legislators don't waste time repealing laws from 1810.
