Disappointing · 12:31am May 22nd, 2020
My parents co-own a small trucking company they founded 30 years ago, and this week discovered one of their employees has stolen possibly as much as 2 million dollars from the company over the last 7 years.
EDIT: Unsurprisingly my post about it on Facebook turned into a clusterfuck since Leftbook is a trash fire. 159 comments and it's only been a few hours. Dive in if you feel like it. https://www.facebook.com/bryan.chandler.125/posts/3297311933632646

holy shit
Hope they can take him to court D:
That sucks
Two things: First, stealing from anyone, let alone your employer, is disgraceful, and this employee deserves whatever punishment they get, provided it's not a slap on the wrist.
Second, what kind of lifestyle does this guy/gal have that he/she needs two million dollars in seven years?!?
That sounds like quite the story, I'm so sorry to hear about that.
Ouch, ouch. Be very careful with the forensic unwinding of the scam and document the holy hell out of it, because the IRS has a bad habit of "I don't care who stole it, the money came in here and we didn't get our taxes."

Apparently they were just buying random crap.

They are. She was my mom's favorite employee too. Not any more obviously.

2 mil might be just enough to make the legal fees worth it.
But seriously, good luck. Hope they win. At least since they're the employer, they have all the employee's contact info lmao. This heist was not very well thought-out.
In honesty, I kind of do want to jump in and say something nasty. But I know this is a shitty thing to happen, and I bet your parents are devastated. Being a businessman myself, I know I would be devastated.
Real talk though, I picked a comment from that dumpster fire, and I want you to really, seriously, please for the love of Celestia, think very carefully about it:
PS - I hope they put that bitch behind bars.

Oh my God you have no idea how much I want to get into pointless Facebook debates with you, please send me a friend request!
5266976 lol fuck that shit.
Oh, yikes; I'm sorry about that. Good luck to your family.

What a waste of two million dollars too, then, it sounds like. I mean, it still would have been a problem that they stole it even if they _had_ been donating most of it to charity or something, but, yeah, good grief, two million dollars of random crap? That doesn't even sound like that good a purely selfish use of it (though I suppose they could just really like random crap...)!

I don't have a Facebook account, and I've no plans to change that.
5266856 One caution: If your parents take the crook to court, the opposing attorney will plow through any Facebook posts and do an extensive Google search for any critical comments they may have made. Yes, you can be successfully sued by the person who stole you blind for defamation of character for telling the world they stole you blind. So be careful. No threats, no character defamation, no revealing their real names, no nothing. (other than this, which seems to be just fine) It would not be beneath somebody who stole from you to then fake an attack on themselves and blame an 'inflammatory' social media post. People are right bastards.
