Emile has been my friend for 8+ years. He's the only worker i hired that i didn't know personally in real life.
He has been with me since the beginning of TreeGP.
There is going to be a lot of miscellaneous/old information because this was a pretty big problem i had to deal with/handle perfectly to reduce my loses.
Around 8 months ago Emile and another co-worker for around 1 month both shared an RS3 account, back then i didn't really audit the site as much as i should have because i had a lot of trust in both my workers, but ultimately there was RS3 missing multiple days in a row, both parties swore it wasn't them and then i ended up assuming it was human error, even though it was multiple times, and just started auditing the site far more vigorously to make sure there was no theft occurring. (few bill rs3 was missing from this)
There has also been a handful of times i noticed emiles numbers for the day off a very small amount 5-10 mil, but it was always an *accident*
Emile has a full time job outside of TreeGP, around 2.5-3 months ago he got promoted and his schedule changed. With this change he wasn't able to work at TreeGP practically ever, a handful in the last 2-3 months. With this being said, he had messaged me multiple times asking me if i was going to fire him, and i said no because he told me his schedule would get changed in the future, but he still had a fear i was going to let him go.
Around 1 month ago, another one of my workers noticed people were coming to the livechat to pick up orders from past days, that were still marked pending. After further evaluation with the developer, he (dev) told me it was a worker scamming me, but i didnt want to believe it. Dev added changes to site to monitor specifically everything that was happening on back end of site.
After the dev was monitoring IP's and accounts editing the sales, it was clear it was emile doing it. I still didn't want to believe it. I thought there was a security flaw in the system allowing someone to access his account or something. I told emile that night that i added $100 in paid anti-vpn de-masking services to monitor every IP that came to treegp, and as soon as i told him that the scammer never came again, after successfully stealing a LOT of gold.
At this moment i went back and started reading past chats, and noticed emile was coming into chats anytime someone was selling gold for paypal, even when my other worker said we were full, he would pop in and say "hey! i can take your gold!" After reading through these i noticed there was like 1.3b 07 that had been purchased by his paypal, all that was never told to, to me, all that was used/sold by him and literally purchased only to chargeback and get away with a massive scam-quit.
This is when i new i was fucked because he has been stealing for over 1 year, and is now going to chargeback at least 1k from paypal orders made by his paypal.
At this moment most people would have called him out and banned him from the site and everything else, but not me Emile you little fucking snake, im smarter than you will ever be.
After a few weeks of talking with emile i was able to get him to send me 4k via bank xfer, and as soon as i got it all i called him out on everything, recorded the conversation, and have audio of him admitting to scamming me, but begging for his money back because "just because i scammed you doesnt mean you should scam me
"
TLDR: Worker scammed me for god knows how much and is charging back a fuck ton of paypal orders, i didnt have a security deposit but managed to get him to send me 4k to cover all loses past/loses future as a result of him
