I enjoyed the read. Side note: is it just me or is the Keto industry in general just like 99.5% criminals?

I’ve had my credit card stolen multiple times this year, and the thief has used my card to send ME keto pills I didn’t want. This makes the transaction more difficult to dispute and doesn’t benefit a common thief in any way. These companies are just a facade for criminal activity in my opinion, though I’ve been unable to concretely connect the dots.

Actually you've uncovered part of the ruse. The thief / criminal is actually working in cahoots with the unscrupulous keto pill company. He gets a stolen card, charges it for product, ships you the product, and the keto pill company makes money without actually selling to a real customer, and gives a kickback to the credit card thief. Meanwhile you've gotten the product, making it harder to dispute the charge since they can show that you received the purchased product.
