I think, in my some 60 accumulated posts I've already covered about 75% of all the scams out there. A few lawyers, and law school profs have done this and, most state that they came across several scams they had no idea even existed.<BR/><BR/>Ever heard of Enron, Kevin? They practiced "creative accounting" at a spit and polish level that few in corporate accounting ever achieved. Sadly, it's done all the time, with a magician's now-you-see-it-now-you-don't skill.<BR/><BR/>You're are, oh, so right, #2, does sound like this scenario was plucked from a movie doesn't it?

That's usually the way it works, Robert, more info, better the catch rate. This is so true with, for example, insurance scams: much information, big percentage of arrests and convictions. But with employment contracts there is so little information that I can only conclude con artists are having a ball in this field of scam endeavor.<BR/><BR/>And, Dee, I know quite a few other lawyers who never heard of employee leasing either. You are not alone. It's amazing how well-kept this secret has been.Jack Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838385417692720281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267286454117551349.post-49183330114871337102008-04-22T18:56:00.000-07:002008-04-22T18:56:00.000-07:00This concept is so wild, it sounds like it comes r...This concept is so wild, it sounds like it comes right out of a movie script.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4267286454117551349.post-6010653445833736302008-04-22T18:45:00.000-07:002008-04-22T18:45:00.000-07:00I once slipped with a friend of mine when I said “...I once slipped with a friend of mine when I said “accounting has got to be one of the most boring aspects of business”.
