Guys, with apologies to Glen, I have been “burned” in business to the tune of at least $200,000 and countless hours of work by a very convincing Gentleman with a sad story to tell. Unfortunately for all of us at the time - me, our business, a major U.S. company and a U.S. Federal Government Department. our colleague falsified one tiny but important element in his “story”. That cost us a total of at least a million in wasted effort and potentially cost the Australian and U. S. economy tens of millions of dollars.
I learned the hard way to be sceptical and ask for proof. I should have done so months ago.
