Not me..I believe in Karma plus my Mom always said, don't steal, but if you do, take enough to leave the country and live without working for the rest of your life. Not on $23,000.00. I don't care where you go..it won't last.
Ok truth is I would (WANT) to do what he did but truth is I would be the first to let them know something is wrong. But if the job is a bunch of a-holes than I will let them sweat for a couple days till they full on panicking then I will give them the check back as soon as they sign a paper saying I won't be fired for their mistake and they will give me my real check.
Nope. If it was 23000 with taxes taken out, he'd be making minimum wage. Let's be real, it's probably fake, but:
7.25×4000=29000
29000×.79=22910.
7.25 is minimum wage here, then they take out about 21-25% of your check for taxes.
If the story is true then the company has the guys Social Security number because they have to withhold FICA. That means wherever else you might open a bank account he has to use his Social Security number. It's hard to imagine somebody going through life without get a credit check, apply for a mortgage, get another job that pays them by check rather than by cash and withholds FICA, but he might use his Sosa security someday. The whole thing just doesn't make sense that it would actually work for somebody that doesn't mean that somebody wouldn't get another job that pays them by check rather than by cash and withholds FICA, but he might use his Sosa security someday. The whole thing just doesn't make sense that it would actually work for somebody that doesn't mean that somebody wouldn't cry try it.

2. They can stop payment on the check.
