Sounds like the employer wasn’t minding his business.
Math is hard. Started in 2013. Found out April 11,2022, but it went on for 11 years. Alrighty then. Even if it started January 1, 2013, it would only be 9 years, three months and 11 days.
Breaking Commandments 8 (no stealing) and 9 (no false witness) for eleven years is evil. The employer needs an accountant.
It seems that any halfway decent payroll audit would have exposed this years ago. Apparently the Boss never suspected a thing until last April.
But if that company decided to not pay employees the owner would not be arrested for theft.
It’s a double standard.
I would be very interested in seeing how this case turns out for the accused. There are cases on record that could be used to argue that the employee was/is not guilty of a crime.
I know, I KNOW!!! The headline and article make it seem like a slam-dunk.
But once the facts come out, and various lawyers have been hired...I think the defendant might walk free.
