It would take months for the company to figure out that the person is not doing anything, is not who they pretend to be, and fire them. Months during which that imposter would have been paid to do literally nothing.
I guess at some company scale that would happen... you'd probably need pay someone to do onboarding for you (so you're not immediately flagged as a no-call-no-show), then you could go AWOL after that?
