I personally doubt it.
My main reasoning is think about how many returns happen daily.
They would need to employ staff to open every single package the second it arrived. Otherwise there is no way they could link it back to you.
They simply won't spend that amount of money purely having people open the package, verify the inside box, open the inside box, and verify the item is inside in perfect condition.
There is no way this will be patched untill x-ray robots/goggles are invented
Yeah exactly what i was thinking, they probably ran the numbers and found that spending the money to check every return would waste the company more money than it would save.

That aside, 370k Is a significant amount, so I'd say It's safe to assume that a prison sentence will be served.
In a similar case to this where someone did $1.2mill they were sentenced to 6 years and had to repay amazon.
Yes, I read this at the end of the article.
Greed certainly played a significant role In their apprehension and conviction.
