Very good probability of both of those things, although calling the number of bands "wild" makes me assume he had something like 1,000 of these bands. Definitely fraud in that case, although I applaud the effort.
Using bots to boost his engagement and "make millions". The AI bands might be fine (may be against Spotify TOS) but artificially boosting engagement is definitely fraud.
it's plausible but there's not a chance in hell he was making "millions" from it.
either way he was probably arrested for not paying taxes
