I mistakenly found a large fraud while just minding my business. Several tens of millions. At first it was a little exciting because of the juicy details but I am now burnt out. I knew something was off but it's about what you can prove and i didn't benefit at all by kicking up sh*t. However, the evidence I later found was too damning to ignore it any longer. Anyway, I wanna get back to my minding my business and enjoying my flexible schedule.

Maybe the most interesting part is the perp who committed the fraud is DEFINITELY the person you would have expected. I found out employees suspected it for years but were scared to tell the CEO. I was the one who had to break the news. It took 4 different attempts, the first I ran with my tail between my legs from their blowback at the suggestion one of their favorite people could be stealing from them. They only started to see the light when I provided documents showing that employee forging their signature. He hired vendors for his own personal use then skipped out on paying. Those vendors started contacting the teams claiming we had deals with them. Oh and he had his girlfriend AND boyfriend(they didn't know about each other) on payroll but they did absolutely nothing. They were remote employees. Now one of them is claiming she has cancer and needs money but I looked up her name and she has a bunch of battery and robbery charges. Also, found out the contractors he hired over the years, majority were very beautiful models. Safe to say they weren't doing anything.

All this stuff from 10+ years has to be dug up. We've been investigating and i've been lying to the whole team for weeks now about what i'm busy with. Some of the people on the team may be in on it, it's a whole lot of documenting and interviewing. Everyone is giving you their side of the story and you really can't believe them because there is money involved.

The best part is how you basically gotta write out how your whole company got played, and robbed blind. You see companies being egregious and bankrolling all types of junk while harder working and loyal employees fight for pennies. The way they this company looked the other way when asked to address the behavior and spending habits of this employee is wild.

I thought i would feel satisfied by uncovering it, but you feel humiliated even if it's not your fault. Now i got all these people up my ass I gotta report to for details of what happened and how it's gonna be fixed or avoided next time.

I think I have another 3 months before this wraps up.

Stay safe.

As an employee dealing with real money, I would say to stay safe and change ALL of your HR information on file.

Like get a PO Box, Google Voice number, dash cam that can record movements near your car, etc and use that in your records if you can.

Get cameras at your home [and loved ones homes] and make sure to warn your kids schools that they should be vigilant about school pick ups.

Get your spouse to change all of their info too and be sure to go dark on social media, if you have any with your real face and/or real name.

Get yourself removed from those white pages type websites

@blackgzuz has some good security threads.

Whenever there is real money on the table, you have to keep your head on a swivel.

You might to see if you can find a TRUSTED attorney to keep on standby to explain your rights and responsibilities.

Record every meeting you can, if it is legal.

Keep as much in writing as possible too.

I once found an error in an essential calculation in a research project's data analysis that fundamentally altered and obviated ALL of the results and rendered the previously reported results and working premise of the research and subsequent funding useless.

It wasn't something complex either.

It was a sign error.

I was bored and half paying attention and when someone was walking me through the calculations, I was like so does that mean this should be that?

Henceforth that PI probably hated my Black ass with the fire of 1000 suns.

I do not know if they ever self-reported the error though.
