District attorney's office called

[BusyBlonde]

Good for you. We've not had that happen, as we do our own books, but have had 'friends' as customers who screwed us royally. We did get the satisfaction (dubious at best) at making one of them declare bankruptcy - he owed us over $60K and we found out he spent the money he was supposed to pay us with on vacations, golfing, his own personal stuff. It was worth paying our attorney to force him to face up to his actions.

Another screwed us, put us in contact with a relative to 'help' us recover some money by working for them. They also didn't pay for the work we did. Took them to court, but the relative kept changing the name of his company and it wasn't worth our time for one job to pursue it. Can you believe the initial "friend" in this case called my husband and wanted us to do MORE work for them???

I want to thank you for pursuing charges. I worked for a company while I was going to college and started doing some of the books and busted an employee who was embezzling. The company owner didn't want to be in the news, so let them pay it back, fired them and never did anything else about it. I put the word out the best I could and warned people while I still lived there but then I got married and moved off. I had someone email me a link years later, they'd been caught stealing money from a kids' sports program. They did do time that time, but it could have been avoided if the right thing had been done by my boss. So, thank you for doing what's right.

Good for you!

My DH's company accounting guy, disappeared one day... they gave him quite a while before trying to contact him....and even longer before fireing him by mail. When they got a temp finance person in to do the books, they found out their guy had been charging up quite a bit of cash on a cc that was supposed to have been cancelled. Wasn't much to leave on, but it must have been enough cause he hasn't been found yet.
