Comment I have... (Score 0) 388

I've done two things that are a bit sketchy: 1) I went through a co-workers email after he had quit. Although I didn't have explicit permission to do so, it was vital to obtain information to keep the business going. I came across his resignation email. It was a beaut. And so very cathartic. (We had the same manager.) 2) I have altered payroll. Now this might seem like I'm shooting myself in the foot here. But considering that they were paying minimum wage to the 'grunt' employees, firing them every two weeks on a project by project basis, not paying them their full hours worked, and extending their lunch and breaks by 12 minutes each instance (every minute counts) each break, I think I'm safe. This was a systemic problem. I would try to minimize the companies theft from their employees whenever possible. I looked at it as minimizing the companies culpability. The above mentioned manager would spend so much time altering these timesheets that his hourly wage times time doing so was often more than the total payroll savings. (All so that he could get a $20 to $50 bonus each month.)

Well at least some of the money (0.31337BTC) went to the LulzSec: http://blockexplorer.com/tx/2a09f8ca584dd60beff72e3b09337c4886653eecdc915e9e7d4588ecca127504#i1155235 There's a connection, but I agree it's pretty tenuous. There's never been much in the LulzSec address either. They wouldn't be dumb enough to dump anything substantial there. If that was my account I'd immediately send out any donations to that address to traceable bitcoin addresses (a la "please donate to my blog") to frustrate the authorities looking for them.
