        I gave your team a compliment is what I am saying. That's wrong now? -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 18:23

Poll: What would you do? My dad's just found out the employee he's had for 20+ years has been embezzling from him. - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:27 53
- She's fired and she pays it back, or a phone call to the police.. -- nm - Ah-nold Dec 8, 17:59
- The only advice I can add is to make sure he has the evidence to protect himself from any wrongful dismissal claim -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 17:32 1
  - I'm confident he has enough for that, especially in an "at will" state. I am concerned about making sure the tax thing doesn't bite him though. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 17:34
- FWIW - my dad had a Secretery embezzle just under 10k - he didn't report, but did have her pay it back. Took a long time, but it was the right thing - JenBro Dec 8, 17:29
- And make sure her replacement is bondable...and bonded! -- nm - Meg Dec 8, 16:59 1
  - Although I guess claiming against a bond would require a police report :( -- nm - Meg Dec 8, 17:06
- I'd do what he did, assuming she hasn't put him in any kind of dire straits, or potential trouble with the IRS. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 16:50 11
  - though I'd also ask her what happened to it all. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 16:59 8
    - Just talked to him again--sounds like she's a big fan of the riverboat casinos. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 17:02 7
      - honestly, tough love might be the prescription here - Reagen Dec 8, 17:24 1
        
        Yeah, once I hear of the possible gambling problem angle I starting thinking about it differently. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 17:28
      - Yeah, I call the police then. - Spawn Dec 8, 17:21
      - ah, well there you go. all gone then. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 17:04
      - Ouch. so not much chance of getting the money back - amoxy Dec 8, 17:04 2
        
        I've told him to speak to his lawyer and his accountant to get a better idea of what his options are. I don't know enough about criminal or tax law. - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 17:06 1
        
        that's the really crap scenario. he might be forced into turning her in to keep himself out of trouble. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 17:09
  - this is what I was getting at below. -- nm - mud Dec 8, 16:55
  - good point, that might be unreported income for tax purposes. I think he should definitely seek legal advice -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 16:52
- How is he so sure he can't recover any of the money? She must have something to show for all that. - GregW Dec 8, 16:44
- cops. If she would steal based on that backstory she will make up something else to get more or - Beaker Dec 8, 16:42
- Yikes, I would go to the Police. Hate to ask the question, but how did he not notice it? -- nm - amoxy Dec 8, 16:39 1
  - Well, he noticed that the economy was crappy. But he wouldn't have wanted to even think that she would do something like that. - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:45
- if she gets a new job in about the same position thats just bad luck for the next guy? - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 8, 16:38 4
  - That's the problem. A lot of employers today won't give references - they'll confirm the applicant worked for them but not why they left.... - Meg Dec 8, 16:43 3
    - my favourite one of these: an old employee gave my logistics manager as a reference without asking first. his response to the phone call: "we employed - mafic Dec 8, 16:52 1
      - "You would be really lucky if you could get him to work for you." nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 17:04
    - The big tip-off question is "is she eligible for rehire?" The answer to that tells everything, -- nm - Meg Dec 8, 16:48
- I'm guessing this is a small business situation? This is always a risk with a small staff and minimal checks and balances. - Meg Dec 8, 16:38
- sorry to hear this. make sure the bank knows she is no longer a signer of checks, etc. -- nm - peglegpete Dec 8, 16:34 1
  - It wasn't a check thing. He's a dentist. People pay cash every day. She just didn't record it all, especially for new patients. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:36
- I`d do the same as him, but I`m worried he could be in some jeopardy then -- nm - mud Dec 8, 16:31
- What would be the legal ramifications if he did? -- nm - David Dec 8, 16:29 9
  - If he went to the police? I'm pretty sure he's got enough evidence that she'd go to jail. He doesn't want that for her kids. - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:32 8
    - She's the one who put her kids into that position. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 16:47 1
      - Absolutely! Hammer those kids! They are probably like family to him as well as her. Easy to say from our perspective. -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 16:53
    - I'm asking what kind of jail time she would be looking at: months, years or decades. -- nm - David Dec 8, 16:33 5
      - felony charge but not likely to serve that much time, first conv, non violent. Boss is lucky he's not bankrupt from it -- nm - ruddy the red nosed zeitgeist Dec 8, 16:36
      - Oh, I don't know that. Couple years, maybe? nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:35 3
        
        Yeah, I couldn't do that to a mother. - David Dec 8, 16:36 2
        
        She is super fucking lucky that my dad is a soft touch. It's just such a monstrous betrayal, it really pisses me off. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:38 1
        
        And what about the next employer she betrays? - Trish, (-6 F below zero) Dec 8, 18:05
- I would want an explanation, to know where the money went. That is a huge amount for one year for someone in her situation. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 16:29 6
  - He hasn't even had a chance to check the books for the previous 3 years yet. It's probably even worse than that. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:30 5
    - Almost certainly. My heart truly goes out to him. -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 16:31
    - Then why is there no chance of recovering money? -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 16:31 3
      - I think she's probably blown through it. She's not going to have invested it in T-bills. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:33 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        She might have socked some of it away for the kids college, etc. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 16:52
- Fired, no police. -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 16:28
- [deleted] 3
  - Heh. I almost put "Hi, ML" in the IM. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:28 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - At least he doesn't have the problem of having an obligation to report it to the bar. It's not client money, it's his. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 8, 16:34
The Seahawks are the better team today -- nm - amoxy Dec 8, 16:16 3

sitwap: MTV developing Terry Brook's Shannara series with Jon Faveru writing/directing and the Smallville creators on it... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 8, 16:07 5
- I know they've long ago forgotten what the "M" stood for, but how is this an MTV show? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 18:09
- I was so happy right up until Smallville was mentioned. -- nm - David Dec 8, 16:11 3
  - Your eyes must have glazed over at MTV -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 17:14 2
    - To the contrary! -- (link) - David Dec 8, 18:41 [Backboard]

      - I always miss them. FYI, I've had Ravens season tickets since they've come to Baltimore. -- nm - Inigo Dec 8, 17:17
That looked like a home field advantage penalty. Returner''so late movement reminded me of Giants infielders chasing high pop ups at Candlestick -- nm - JD Dec 8, 15:47 3
- Only one more regular season game left at Candlestick. I will miss it - amoxy Dec 8, 16:07 1
  - This -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 16:09
- I think players are getting way too close to fair catch signaled players. I wish they would set up a buffer zone. -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 15:48

- undrafted rookie on my SCUFFL team. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 15:45
I thought the entire point of a snow game is fans having snowball fights. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 15:41 1
