The guy put in that he made 133.7 Euros and says he founded a company called 1337 Software, which is stated to have 133,700 shares. I think the guy is just genuinely a moron trying to make an out of date leet joke. Whether it was an inside joke or one he wanted people to catch for self promotion reasons, unsure.

In this case he would have had to pay huge extra taxes if that "typo" wasn't corrected, so clearly not attempt to gain tax benefit.

Usually point of tax fraud is to reduce taxable income, not increase it. ;)

Brain fart is now a euphemism for tax fraud.

"Oops! I accidentally wrote in fake earnings on my tax documents! Talk about a real whoopsy doodle!"

I'm not even sure why you would do that. Wouldn't this mean that you end up getting taxed more than what you should?

Perhaps the “fictitious earnings” were an under representation of taxable income.

I'm not sure I get the logic of claiming you make more than you do, as that would incur a higher tax burden.
