He's a fraud and an idiot.

I mentioned a while back about the guy who was supposed to move in with us, the guy I was working with at one point. Well, I am so glad he never moved in with us, it would have been an absolute nightmare and I'm glad we never made the mistake of letting him move in. He's a fraudster, big time. He has a friend who works at a Home Depot location, and insists on only going there when he's working. He does this so he can get materials and supplies for free and at a discount. He gets stuff for free because the guy puts it out the back and claims that it got lost. He buys the stuff at a discount, and then gives the discounted stuff to this jerk who takes it back and gets a full price refund. A few weeks ago, he and I had a major blowout. My van was running a bit sluggish and I was worried about him overloading it with the stuff he needed. He got mad at me and threatened me. He said I would never work for my boss again. This plan has backfired, but he doesn't know it, and he never will. My boss acts like I don't work for her when he's around. They've had a couple of blowouts themselves and he's now withholding money from her that he owes her for working with him. From what she told me, he's cheating her out of money. He claims that she lost $2,000 in gift cards which is why he's not paying her. The biggest part of the issue with them is money. He took money from a client, but he didn't tell her this. Then he had the nerve to ask her for money. He said to her that he needed money for material and a bus pass. He said that she had money and was going to prove it to her. So off they went to the bank to try to withdraw money from an empty account. She wasn't lying about it. When she tried to get money out, each time it was declined. She proved him wrong. A few days ago, he was so hard up for money that he was about to take bottles from another client to get the money for them. The client was going to return them to the store and didn't want him taking them. Last Sunday, they had a major blowout. She wanted to get her tools out of the house where they were working and he wanted to go with her to her storage unit to try to get her tools. He asked her why she was taking her saw off the client's property and she told him that someone else needed it. She told me that the people at storage have been great. They have double locked her storage unit for her so if he ever came by with her, she would tell him it was double locked for non payment. He wants to know everything about her clients. He wants to know how much she's charging and how many clients she has. He even told her that she would have half of the number of snow clearing clients due to my attitude. She turned around, looked at her client list and said she had more than she thought. I guess my "attitude" didn't lose us any clients. I was talking to one of her friends tonight who agrees that this guy is a sleazebag and that he wouldn't work for this guy either. It's sad when I have to go down and babysit her place to make sure he doesn't go and steal from her. It's not right that she should have to worry about things like this when she has to move in a few days. I wish I could report him and his friend for fraud, but I don't have enough information to do so, otherwise I would. I can't wait until he's out of her life for good.
