"Everyone has done "something" wrong. It's a question of whether what you've "done wrong" justifies the penalty someone else wants to impose (for their benefit, of course.) It would be like an insurance company refusing to reimburse you for your car being stolen because you didn't tell them you'd been cited for making an illegal U-turn. Their excuse for not paying you money they owe you isn't justified by what you "did wrong."
You gotta learn to smell a fishy story, Opie. "
No Kluge, I understand what you're saying But.... I have trouble when the "innocent victim" is a willing particpant in the fraud. Maybe I'd feel differently if I knew the entire situation that person was in...but everyday I see people make poor choices with money and it's applications. I see many people who make choices that when disaster strikes moan why me???
Which is funny because in many cases they had ample opportunity to protect themselves.
Do you know more about this person's finances? What if she was making good money? would you still feel the same way? or would she be similar to a corporate exec stealing little?
Believe me, I hold in great contempt our white collar criminals out there, but often feel alone. We'd rather incarcerate a dope smoker for a decade than put a guy in the box for taking kickbacks from a plan advisor to carry their products and "steal" a chunk of all the employees retirements.
The fishyness of this story is the lady... she's a victim because she got caught in a lie. Had she told the truth, she would have paid more, but she'd have coverage.
I'm sorry I just disagree with the concept of lying on a contract and then claiming victimhood. It doesn't mean I support "Bonuses" or the like. But I do support honesty. It's just me... sorry. I wasn't lying about losing 50k a year because I was unwilling to kickback 5 years ago... It was illegal for my license, it was an illegal activity in my state, and with the IRS. It took the guy all of 24 hours to find somebody who would... accounts transferred, god help those employees..because if they only knew the real reasons for change...
I refuse to send executives on trips, buy expensive gifts when dealing with employee benefits.. because their is supposed to be some sort of fudicary responsibility going on, instead depending on the size of your company, the decision maker gets showered with gifts... and makes decisions based on what's best for them, rather than the employees. ..
Sorry for disagreeing, maybe I'm just a little bitter, but I hold little empathy for system gamers when they get caught..
You see this lady as a victim, I see her differently. that's all. Maybe if we knew more about her situation, our opinions might switch and be on the same side. But for now respectfully, we disagree...
