Legal Theft

Legal theft is when a person or business does something legally, yet it is still theft or practically illegal. It’s the reason some business people are boarder line criminals.
Example A
A company had customers sign a shady mile long contract they can’t negotiate with to use an essential service. It was legal theft.
Example B
The law allowed for companies to get away with anything they want and people lost their rights. They committed legal theft.

reverse identity theft

The act of abusing the well-known and "automatically accepted" concept of identity theft (whereby a nameless criminal commits a crime and makes it appear that an innocent person did it) by falsely mentioning it to hopefully avert suspicion of criminal involvement --- the accused person does indeed commit one or more crimes himself, but then when questioned by authorities, the culprit claims to merely be an innocent ID-theft victim, and that somebody else must have committed the crimes in his name.
John claims that while he was golfing with his buddies, someone snuck into his car and used his laptop to send smutty e-mail messages. But I know what an "in the gutter" mindset he has, so I suspect that he's just hiding behind reverse identity theft.
