>paying a token amount and getting a part 90 business license

The spectrum is reserved for actual business use; "amateur radio, but with encryption" is not on the list of eligible use cases for a business band license [0]. If you're willing to break the law, wouldn't it be simpler to go ahead and transmit encrypted on the amateur spectrum than to submit a fraudulent application for a business band license?
