Paying people in cash, hiring workers not allowed to work for them on the visa they have, paying people late, there's a lot of dodgy stuff here actually.

Shocking: someone being investigated for corrupt practices, has more corrupt practices surface as part of the investigation.

Gotta minimise this somehow, don't you?

Huh?

Your first response is to basically point out how this isn't really that big of a deal

[–] absGeekNZ 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I see.

No, I was pointing out that a corrupt person, in the process of being investigated for said corrupt practices, reveals still more corruption.

I predict that even more shit will flow out of this corruption orifice.

In that case, I suspect you're right. That business sounds like a clown show.

All good. Always good to clear up any confusion.

That wasn't how I interpreted their comment at all. It didn't seem like it was minimizing or brushing away in any way.
