Indian-Origin Data Scientist Fired After Video Of Him Obtaining 'Free Food' From Canada Food Bank Goes Viral
Mashable ^ | 04 24 2024 | Omair Pall

Mehul Prajapati, an Indian-origin data scientist working at TD Bank in Canada, found himself at the center of controversy after a video surfaced showcasing his approach to acquiring "free food" from food banks designated for students in Canada.

In the viral video, Prajapati discussed his method of obtaining food from charity food banks meant to support students in Canadian colleges and universities. He displayed his haul, which included a variety of items like fruits, vegetables, pasta, and canned goods obtained from these food banks. The video quickly drew backlash online, with many expressing outrage at Prajapati's actions, highlighting that food banks are intended to assist individuals facing financial hardship, not to be exploited by those who are financially stable.

The swift and strong public response prompted TD Bank to take decisive action. An update shared by the same user who posted the video revealed that Prajapati had been terminated from his position at TD Bank. A screenshot of an email from the bank confirmed his dismissal, stating that Prajapati "no longer works at TD."

The incident sparked important discussions about ethics and the responsible use of resources meant for vulnerable populations. It emphasized the critical role of food banks in supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity, particularly during challenging economic times.

As the video continues to circulate online, it has prompted broader conversations about the appropriate use of charitable resources and the impact of unethical behavior on public trust. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding ethical standards and ensuring that resources are distributed equitably to those who genuinely need them.

What laws or charity rules did this guy break? Sounds like he’s got a wrongful termination lawsuit case coming up.

The problem is if his employer becomes known to the public, it will reflect on them.

He should have videotaped himself shouting, "Death to all Jews!" and he would have been promoted.

my bet is that there is a morality clause dealing with fraud...meaning that he could be fired for what he did even if it was not against the law... this will be litigated is my bet but chances of winning depends on the state and jury...

“Did break any laws?”

Probably not, but he let it be known publicly that he worked for TD Bank, maybe a corporate code of conduct violation.

He definitely brought a bad image of TD Bank.

He didn’t go to jail, he was fired.

If the worst they get up to is this penny ante stuff, that’s not so bad and a big upgrade from the last batch’s shenanigans.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder,_Inc.
[Murder, Inc. (Murder, Incorporated) was an organized crime group active from 1929 to 1941 that acted as the enforcement arm of the National Crime Syndicate – a closely connected criminal organization that included the Italian-American Mafia, the Jewish Mob, and other criminal organizations in New York City and elsewhere.[1] Murder, Inc. was composed of Jewish and Italian-American gangsters, and members were mainly recruited from poor and working-class Jewish and Italian neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn. It was initially headed by Louis “Lepke” Buchalter and later by Albert “Mad Hatter” Anastasia.

Murder, Inc. was believed to be responsible for between 400 and 1,000 contract killings,[3] until the group was exposed in 1941 by former member Abe “Kid Twist” Reles.[2] In the trials that followed, many members were convicted and executed, and Abe Reles himself died after suspiciously falling from a window. Thomas E. Dewey first came to prominence as a prosecutor of Murder, Inc. and other organized crime cases, before being elected to become the 47th governor of New York.[4]]


And that’s just the money-grubbing sociopaths. The political nutjobs were something to behold.
