Osama El-Atari found murdered

Do you honestly think his family didn't know what was going on?

Your comment reminds me of the arsonist who burned down his neighbor's house because he "wanted to roast some marshmallows."

Under sharia law, he would have lost a limb for each infraction and eventually, face execution.

This just proves that Karma has a wicked way of making things right.

I have to disagree with your sentiment. Let sleeping dogs rest.

Does this really surprise anyone? Life in the fast lane only last so long.

 

He should have purchased Reputation Repair, which works because nobodys sure what it even doo. #hashtagnotsurewhatreputationmanagementevendoo

I do not know what his family did or did not know. I do know, however, that there are plenty of families that care about their misguided members who commit crimes. Just because he was a criminal doesn't mean his family has not suffered a loss.

I'm not sure what sharia law has to do with this. I equally don't understand the applicability of your arsonist parable.

 

Does ratting out other criminals make him worse? I don't know the answer to that one. I completely agree, however, that it likely contributed to his death.

 

Sure, I'll go along with that - his family (and friends) were absolutely clueless. It happened to Bernie Madoff.

Just goes to show that there is both good and bad karma.

Discussion of sharia law belongs in P&R, but basically, I support cutting off the hand of a thief as a penalty and further deterrent.

Hmmm. Separated at birth perhaps?

My thoughts exactly.

 

Contrary to Mr El-Atari.

I refused to falsely report revenue and to cover-up fraud that was short-paying my coworkers which caused me to lose my job last month. I did the right thing (honesty and integrity) but now have no job.

How can I trade in those good karma points for job leads in NoVA?

 

Look into this, maybe covered under Frank-Dodd?

Thanks. I will look into. Have negotiated an agreement w/ payment with former employer (used by several members here). It was the second corrupt management in row. Stressful years for me which I do not wish to return to.

Now in job market w/ everyone else but good karma points do not appear on resume or job applications. When bad karma can catch up to people fast, hoping good karma comes sooner than later.

What do you do?

 

Nope, doesn't make him better or worse, but sure as hell puts him at higher risk for shortening his term on Earth.

Ratting out OTHER bad guys to cut your sentence short will sure as hell make you really popular on your cell block, if anyone finds out. That much I think we can all agree on.

Buddying up to someone so you CAN rat him out points to the same character flaw that allowed him to swindle decent honest bank folk out of $60MM.

My work experience has been 26 years accounting related, 13 of them automotive. I can adapt to most anything technical. Hobbies are autoracing and quadcopters. Education is bachelors in natural resource management with federal law enforcement training.

Thanks.

 

Seems to me you have the potential for the double whammy on whistle blowing.

You have illegal behavior, and you have retaliation for reporting it to your employer, who instead of rectifying the situation, fired you for reporting it.

He was found dead, not dying slowly and agonizingly. None of the people he stole from were there to witness his last breaths.

Is that the sad part?

On second thought perhaps a couple of his victims were on the scene.

 

I'd certainly be talking to a good employment attorney.

 

While the conspiracy theories that he was murdered make it sound more interesting, without specific details regarding how Al-Atari was found dead, could it have been a suicide? PG County police so de-sensentized to murders that they jumped to homicide conclusion. Or if self-inflected but no weapon on scene, perhaps someone else discovered body and stole the gun. PG county criminals not the brightest.

Rally buddy (XGames champ Dave Mirra) was also found dead in his truck last week of suicide and he had everything (business, fame, family) going for him. Al-Atari, seems everyone had turned their backs to him.

My situation. Good attorneys cost $ for consultation fees right off the bat and then charge hourly $ that I did not have not knowing where/when my next paycheck was coming. I did post here on FChat inquiring for a whistleblower attorney when it happened in January. Until I am gainfully employed again, I do not know what my monetary damages are.

I did have first interview w/ a headhunter today. Any other leads appreciated.

 

Hearing about Dave Mirra was really sad. I raced BMX for a long time and Hoffman and Mirra were the best. They both pushed the sport so far. A few people have suggested that Mirra's suicide may have been the result of so many concussions over the years. An article I read about Hoffman stated that he thinks he has had over 100 concussions, and at one point they were a weekly occurrence.

Sorry to stray off topic.

 

Wow! More drama than Real Housewifes.
