What would you do if your best friend...
By BcLive on 05-14-2008 11:48 PM

 ...of 20 years embezzled over 100k from your company?

 

Long Story short. I started a company, sold it but was kept on just because I started the company. Hired a CEO to control the company and gave him control to hire who he wanted. My friend that I help with everything was hired on to basically be the manager as a favor to me.

I've hired him at a few of my companies but this one he would help more than the others so I put him there. For having no real education I started him at 48k which is really good. After the first two years and the company moving along pretty good I thought everything was flawless. We needed to move into a bigger building hired more people and just kept pushing along.

Year later goes by and I didn't like where the CEO was going with things, I thought it was time for a change. I let him go along with a few guys he brought on because they were basically a group that pulled a small business to a medium but weren't capable of taking a medium company to a large one.

Tax time rolls around and I decide to see what we've been doing for the past year. Mind  you, I have other companies so I wasn't there to really see the daily operations. I order the merchant accounts for the cards and notice the crazy spending.

Before tax time took place my friend packed up and left 2 months prior. He never gave a full reason for wanting to move, he just did it. I now know the reason of leaving. Looking back I always wondered over the past year how he could afford the cool stuff in his house but now it all makes sense.

Yeah, that's the short.

 

Anyway, what would you do to your best friend of 20 years? We were basically brothers. What I think I'm going to do is going to break up our whole group of friends because some will side with me and some with him. Ahhh what to do.

Get the authorities involved, It's not your job to worry about his family.  It is his and he fucked up, I would be livid.

sosa2004: 

this is an extremely baller hidden brag post Stick out tongue


 

 

 

lol after reading it, it does sound like a semi brag with a bad beat thrown in there. Such a long story it was hard to shorten it without leaving out a bunch of details.

Does the money affect you?  Or anyone remotely?  I guess thats a bad question..cuz its bad to embezzle..

So ya, answer that then i will give my opinion..

 

 

FTR, i wouldnt want to be involved with someone who did what your friend did.  You know he did this now, do you turn him in?

Have one of your lawyers get in touch with him to get repaid or put him in jail.  Secondly, fire everyone that should have been overseeing monthly expenditures.  No excuse for this to be found at tax time.

He is no friend to you...sounds more like a hanger-on.

everyone is wanting to throw the book at this guy pretty hard....

I think that if he was your best friend for 20 years theres no way you can send him to jail.  I mean you dont even own the company so what do you care?  Yes, it is wrong to steal and what he did is awful but you cant ship the guy to jail if he was your good friend.

I find it comical that this guy can still be referred to as a friend.

A friend does not steal from a job that you bend over backwards and get him as a favor.

A friend does not put you in the difficult position of having to explain why you insisted on the company hiring him in the first place.

If he stole the funds in order to pay for some noble purpose such as a dying family member or even a less than noble cause such as to pay off bookies that are going to kill him etc you might have a different course of action.  He bought a Fkn TV, bird and jewelry!

Now if you are extremely wealthy where 100k is like $20 to the rest of us, then suck it up, pay the company back the 100k he stole and write him off as a friend.

No matter what you choose to do, the only crazy thing you can do imo is still consider him a friend.

i hope you give us updates OP, definately intrigued to see how this turns out.

I was thinking what i would do if a friend for 20 years..pretty much a childhood friend, totally betrayed you.  You hired him and he is representing you as a friend as in affecting your status i think.  Def a pickle.  I dont think i turn him in to the cops.  I really dont..That would be the friendship part of it.  The old get out of jail card.  Since he used this "friend" card...pretty much..friendship is done.  Then go from there.  Cuz this could backfire on you because if you noticed it, others will also..

Def let someone else take him down..Its like my friend asked if i was a cop and i found him doing something wrong that would result in major prison time, would i arrest him...fuck ya know?

I had a best friend of 10 years all thru high school, best man in weeing etc.....then on his Bachelor party (we shared a hotel room) I wake up in a drunken stouper and he is trying to suck my dick and put his fingers in my butt etc.  And he kept forcing himself on me even when I was stopping him. Not kidding.

We never spoke of it but I wrote him off right after his wedding.  GL.

"Long Story short. I started a company, sold it but was kept on just because I started the company."

 

You sold the company.  It's not your money.  Let the current owners decide what needs to be done and don't get involved in the drama among your "friends".

I loaned one of my best friends from high school $750 about 4 years ago, he would never pay it back, he moved away unreachable, if I ever see him again I'm going to be the shit out of him with a shovel.  That guy isn't your best friend, he's a POS that stole 100k from you instead of being grateful he had a job.  If you can prove he did it, file charges for fraud and theft, he deserves it.

WTF???????????????????????

 

worse than stealing 100k IMO.

How many times do I have to apologize before you forgive me?

DAMMIT. I was really hoping this thread getting bumped meant BC had put up a pic of her slutty friend. (she doesn't live in Portland, does she?)
