[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9673713, member: 7044704"] Not that I think TLG would ever do something illegal but I've seen some doozies when it comes to finding money in this industry. I remember working an office job when I was right out if college. There were about half a dozen gamers in staff of varying ages, and this one guy a little older than me was always pipe-dreaming in the break room about starting his own game store. One lunchtime in the building cafeteria he sits down with gamer crowd and announces he finally figure out a way around his funding issues. Big dramatic pause, and most of us were expecting to hear Dad gave him a loan. Nope, the answer is BANK ROBBERY! He's found a small-town bank he thinks will be a pushover and just needs some backup. And he looks around the table like he just made the best offer ever. Basically everyone tells him not to even joke about something like that, one of the guys gets a hand over his mouth as he's starting to say it wasn't a joke, and we find out later one of security staff heard everything and HR had some questions for the rest of us after he'd been escorted from the building and into the hands of the police. Don't think anything beyond the one firing ever come out of it (we didn't even get a warning, just clear message the James Dillinger Junior wasn't ever allowed in the building again). It was seven-day wonder around the office. [/QUOTE]
