Abstract

The high use of social media in Indonesia has resulted in the emergence of a new phenomenon called flexing, which can be expressed as showing off wealth. Similarly, in Surabaya, many students are active users of social media. Their activities on social media in the form of posting photos, videos, and others can be categorized as flexing. Various impacts can arise from these actions, including causing widespread admiration so that people put full trust in them. Furthermore, people who have believed can do everything, for example making investments, and so on which have an impact on losses. In the perspective of digital economic crime, the existence of this loss is sufficient to qualify as an element of a criminal offense. So this legal research wants to answer the formulation of the problem: How is flexing qualified as a criminal offense? The urgency of this research is to find a legal concept of the flexing phenomenon that qualifies as a digital economy crime. The method used is the Statute Approach, which traces the relevant legislation. The results show that not every flexing is absolutely qualified as a criminal offense, requiring certain conditions to be met.
