A local rooflayer is absolutely corrupt. He cheats every customer, produces leaky roofs, doesn't even pay taxes completely.

It takes 2 year for the legal system to catch up, at which point he starts a new company, bankrupts the old one, sells all his tools cheaply to the new company, and fires and rehires his workers. I've seen this game going on for 14 years now.

I think Crowdstrike would do the same: Start a new one, sell the software, fire and rehire the workers, then go on as if nothing happened



I'd call BS on this story, but I know a friend that bought a home a few years back from a homebuilder that did a similar thing, except at a whole home level. Absolute disaster. he's been chasing him for half a decade now via legal means to get things fixed.
