Comment Re:wrong choice (Score 4, Interesting) 684

I worked at a place that wanted to use a single recruiting firm, and asked us to try to hire positions through infosys. The candidates were consistently poor. Really, really poor. I met someone at a friend's house who had applied to my company for several open spots in the previous year. He was asking why he had never gotten a call back, and why we kept re-opening the reqs, or if the turnover was that high. When I saw his resume, it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for, and a price we were willing to pay. It turned out that Infosys was interested in trying to fill $80/hr spots with $30/hr talent, or worse. They were consistent, and I dont blame it on race, but on pure profits over good business. They lost our account.

The first problem is that the acts arent as illegal as you think, and it would be very difficult to even sure, let alone win. Now, it would make sense that these acts are illegal, but the guys taking the money are the same people that write the laws. And treason here is punishable by death, because we are freaking barbaric!

and the banks have fun with the float time. If they see a check come through for a high amount that can drain the account, it will go through fast. Instead of one bounced check, that big one magically finds its way to the front of the line so that all the little checks that had not cleared yet have insufficient balance.

maybe google just needs to talk about the compiled data, and mention how it may be on a somewhat "internal" server. And maybe screw up the robots.txt file, and maybe accidentally index it to a giant search engine. Or to step back further, they could just talk about having this information somewhere, and anonymous somehow finds it. Or maybe it is a random leak like the kind that illegally came from the white house before the election that never got pursued.

Asking permission is just the first step if they are serious.

I started thinking about this, and I think you are correct in the most hilarious of ways. You would need to have a business license, some sort of LLC or DBA, and then likely pay sales tax on that. As a small business, retained earnings would be the final profit, and that would be taxable. If this was a larger operation that is selling bulk to other dealers, then you may need to 1099 some of that money for proper records. No one ever asks what product was sold, only how many dollars worth were sold, and how much was profit and how much goes out as salary ( everything in a bank account) .

Now I do think doing this would be stupid, as the account would get shutdown easily upon suspicion, but the fact stands, simply paying taxes on illegal income would probably not be the thing that gets the operation shut down.

so maybe the rest of the world would start thinking that it isnt all the people that are so bad, that they really dont have the control over govt as advertised, and the elected (and unelected) officials are a bunch of dicks. If global politics were professional wrestling, the US would definitely be losing its spot as top heel.
