Re: So, he was just fired ?
I cannot see that at all. An uncle giving a nephew a chance to stop whatever he was doing and do an honest job instead, that’s highly commendable. It’s not as if the nephew was taking anyone’s job away. And then, companies hire people, and sometimes these people are idiots, including idiots committing idiotic crimes.
The weak-minded nephew is gone, most likely for some jail time because the uncles protection would have instantly ended, the receiver was a drugs dealer and not some corporate spy, so little harm done. The owner of the other company will most likely feel sorry for the uncle.
