So if I defraud someone by pretending to sell them an iPad for $100 but pocketing the $100 instead, I am more likely to get away with the fraud if instead of straightfowardly offering them an iPad, I set up a shady charity and offer them a choice between buying the iPad and donating $100 to the shady charity (provided that it's sufficiently easy for me to extract money from the charity).
