$150,000 in one shot...

[Nickhead]

Would you do it?

The small production line I run, on average, ruins 60 bottles for a myriad of reasons. Some just can't be helped. We have a new owner, who is Chinese, and I find out they are exporting every bottle for $200 (We buy the same bottle here in town for $3). So my thought is this. I say I get the production to 100%, and still report the 60 bottles as broken, but take them home, and over time accumulate enough for a couple pallets and ship them to Chineseistan?

One carton of 12 bottles of sparkling water nets $2400 dollars. One pallet has 64 cartons. After shipping costs, whatever that may be (probably what? 2000 bucks). That nets $151,000.

Even if I took home a six pack every day for six months. There is no security, we all are against our new owners, but still maintain our ability to keep our jobs.

FOR ONE ****ING PALLET OF SPARKLING WATER. $150,000

You wouldn't get shit for them. They are laundering money.

They will eventually get caught. Find a new job, then report them.

Yeah, or they just have an accident with him.

I ****ing hate thieves

[BWillie]

No, I don't want to invest.

[Iowanian]

I'm going to offer some sound life-business advice.


If you honestly have a plan-suggestion to improve production or reduce damage/waste...spend some time writing that plan up and go present it to management and demonstrate how it's going to work and improve profit.

If the company is sound, they'll appreciate your information(if it works) and it should come in some reward via bonus-raise-promotion.

That's going to be more fiscally productive than trading rides on your moustache for snack credits in Aussie Rules prison.

Why do you curse so much?

Sounds like a good way to get the Yakuza on your ass, if the feds don’t get you first.

1. It’s a crime.
2. You’d need to have a relationship with a buyer for the transaction.
3. You’d need to not get ****ed by the buyer not paying you, or blackmailing you..
4. You’d need to have the buyer have a legit reason for why they don’t need to buy from their previous seller (your boss) without tipping off your boss that they have a thief.
5. You’d need to hide your earnings; the bank would tip off the feds if you deposit irregularly large sums of money.
6. You’d need your buyer to pay you in cash, which is weird and would require a face to face meeting which is risky for a dozen reasons.
7. You’d have your cash sitting under your mattress and couldnt buy anything like a car or whatever without tipping off feds.

If we were talking a million bucks, maybe. But ****ing your life for a year or two’s salary? Stupid.

Let me see if I understand:

You can by it for $3.00 a bottle legally and resell it to the Chinese for $200.00.... or
you can steal it and risk going to prison to save $3.00 per bottle.

If you can't figure out which is the best route to take, you're to stupid to do either.

[kccrow]

I'm fairly certain anything that could be said has already been said in this thread. You're an idiot if you try to pull this off.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Just DO IT ! You could tell them also that you have about 5 pounds of pot ready for harvest.

Yeah.

And way too stupid, too.
