My employee steals over $60,000 in loans from my business, causing my company massive losses,

0:06.8

all the while this guy runs away thinking he got off scot free. So I decided to get some revenge,

0:12.4

by turning the IRS against him, ensuring that everything he stole from me, he would now have to

0:17.4

pay taxes on. And I've never been more satisfied by my revenge against this guy in my life.

0:22.8

Here's what happened. So about six years ago, I started my own consulting business.

0:27.3

I am a talented engineer, but I was an am sadly naive about the ways of the world. I came from a

0:32.8

nice loving suburban background, and my parents taught me that all people are fundamentally good inside.

0:38.6

But they are not. To quote Dr. Cox, people are basically jerks coated in jerks with jerk filling.

0:44.6

In most cases, I never got any sort of revenge. Eventually, I realized I'm being screwed over,

0:50.0

and I would just fire the individual or cut the contract or stuff like that, and then take it

0:54.7

as a lesson learned and move on with my life. Except for this one time when I hired a sales guy,

Tony swept into my office on a cloud of amazing promises. He had a resume a mile long,

1:09.7

and many incredible, unlikely yet somehow plausible stories of his great sales success in past

1:15.7

organizations. He wanted to partner with me to take my company to a new level, make more money

1:21.2

than we've ever made before. Even better, Tony didn't even want a salary. He simply wanted to be

1:26.4

able to take out loans from the company until his big sales pipeline kicked in, and then he would

1:31.3

pay it all back from his giant commissions. It was a total win-win for everybody involved.

1:36.4

This sounded like an amazing deal. I mean, what a nice guy. He was clearly confident he could close

1:41.8

a lot of sales, or why else would he forego a salary in favor of taking out loans? Well, my dear

1:47.5

friends, it's probably obvious how this story goes. Over the course of the next year,

1:52.0

Tony supposedly almost made so many huge sales that are totally ready to sign, but somehow they
