I don't think the allegation is that Block doesn't check, it's that the check is vulnerable to fraud. If Block rolled out a better verification system next week, based on off-the-shelf components, would they no longer be a fraud?

Yes. Also, they’d have to re-state their past user numbers and pay fines, both of which would reduce their valuation.
