      Honestly remarkably stupid. His scheme had no way for him to claim plausible deniability. So while he got to gloat a little bit on the way out the door, he’s suffering far worse consequences than just being out of a job and I’m sure the legal fees he’s paying are ridiculous too.

      Also company would have suffered the same fate if he died also. So even if he got promoted and the company treated him well, the company and his coworkers would have suffered if he got hit by a bus. Dude was a selfish idiot.

        I mostly agree but from the article, it’s clear that he only hatched his little stupid scheme when he got demoted.

      Nah.

      We saw this happen in the 90’s when controls were practically non-existant.

      This behaviour (and his lack of concealing it), just reinforces you don’t want him as an employee - partly because he never considered the implications of his actions.

      Now he gets to deal with the legal consequences of this - court alone is going to be stressful and expensive, then jail time. Dude ended his career doing this.
