I have done exactly that and laughed with Satanic glee as the employers ( a big coal company)proceeded to crash the entire network within 10 minutes.You can imagine how much crow they had to eat (at $5000 flat rate hour with the threat of a mechanic's lien on all computer equipment if they didn't immediately pay up upon completion) when they had to call me back to fix it.Well,the one that fired me got fired ( condition 1 for me to do anything) and yes they had to pay the $25,000 bill( 4 hours 5 minutes it took to restore the system.They never backed up anything.I had the entire system imaged on several very ( my personal property BTW) large hard drives.
You don't piss off a hillbilly,especially one who is a computer geek and expect to get away with it.Turned out that my former boss was trying to hide some equipment theifs.Well,he is still sitting in the Eddieville State prison after getting nailed for it.The company filed for bankruptcy a few years later and the Feds nailed them for bankruptcy fraud,thanks to the appearance of a hard drive with papers addressed to the judge with no return address spelling out what they were trying to pull.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.And it can be sweet
