@MeanHash 75% lied? No way the number is that low

Had a fun day today. 2 weeks ago an Indian (US Citizen) IT employee called ICE on his own department because he heard that many of them were here on fake H1-B Visas. 25 employees were arrested out of 100ish. He was correct. After talking to his leadership he also informed them that many here legally,but we're hired under false pretenses, because they had bought diplomas in India and never really got a degree. At this point management was worried they had been defrauded so they called me up to help them figure it out. We ran all of the remaining employees hiring paperwork through some AI analytics today. Massive amounts of documents. This included reading copies of diplomas, and and a ton of other personal documents. Training the AI analytics tool to look for irregularities in past work experience and education history. As an example: 1.) Check to see if the school exists 2.) Check to see if the person who signed the diploma actually worked at the university 3.) check to see if the degree listed is actually taught at that university 4.) ETC ETC ETC. We found that of the remaining 75 H1-b employees 50 of them had provided fake diplomas to either our company directly, or the contracting company they were hired through. So out of this one department of 250 people, 100 ish were from India here on visas, and 75 of them had defrauded the company during the hiring process. Either providing fake visa paperwork or falsification of education. Basically 75% lied. Not sure what they are going to do about it yet, as across the IT organization they have 1500 ish H1-B visa employees and they cannot fire 75% of them right now even if they wanted to, but I do know they are running all current visa employees records through the tool, any new applicants as well, and will be firing anyone who lied as soon as they get replacement in line for them. From the leadership I was working with: "We have to remove them, we cannot keep employees who defraud the company even if they are good and cheap"

@royermattw Did he not say that?

This mailer uses Obama’s image from an ad and a 6-year-old quote to tell Virginians he opposes redistricting. He recorded that ad to urge a YES vote. The mailer was paid for by a Peter Thiel-backed dark money group. This is the real voter suppression. Vote Yes on April 21.

Err *repeal LMAO

@DelJessAnderson This is exhibit A for why we should appeal the 19th amendment.

I’m genuinely curious, when this ballot measure passes, are the republicans going to admit that Virginia supports fighting back against the power grab of this federal administration? VOTE YES VIRGINIA!

@9mmsmg Wtf is "IRC"?

When I was 19, I dated a girl I met in an IRC chat (God, I feel old). We had mutual friends and hit it off immediately. After a couple of days of chatting, I asked her out to dinner. She was an interesting and really bright girl. We had a nice dinner, making each other laugh the entire time. There were no awkward silences, but at the same time nothing felt forced. Everything just flowed naturally. We went back to my apartment and ended up getting a little drunk. Well, I got a little drunk. She blacked out entirely, passed out on my couch, and I went to bed. I remember thinking how weird it was that she would get that drunk that fast with a stranger. I ignored it. I was young and dumb, and this girl seemed perfect outside of that one incident. We got more serious, spending all of our free time together. Things were going great, but the drinking quickly became a glaring issue. We would go out and she would show up already drunk. Every day it got worse. One night she wanted to go to a Red Sox game, and we were kicked out after about ten minutes because she was stumbling around and falling. She was so obliterated that I had to get us a hotel room at the Buckminster by Fenway. After a couple of hours of drifting in and out of consciousness, she asked me where we were. She did not even remember meeting up with me. I will spare you the boring details of the next few months, but it was more of the same. We had a lot of fun, constantly interrupted by bursts of alcohol induced insanity on her part. I guess when you are 20, stuff like that does not bother you the way it would when you are more mature. Something had to give, and it did. We were headed to a friend's party in Detroit. A group of us rented a van and road tripped up. There was a big concert at the same time, and the lousy hotel we stayed at was packed with people our age who were partying hard. We were not in the best shape ourselves. My friends and I were pretty drunk, which meant she was even worse. I woke up to my friend shaking me in bed. He said she was in some stranger's room hooking up and that I needed to handle it. I have not always been as jovial as I am today. I knocked on the door, and there she was, struggling to get dressed. I got into a fight with the guy she was with and pulled her out of the room. I had never been cheated on before, and I was about to explode, but I somehow managed to stay calm enough to make it through the night. The next morning, before checkout, she was explaining her actions while I burned holes through her with my eyes. I just wanted to get home. Then she said something I will never forget. She told me it was not her fault because she had what she called "sexual amnesia." That was it. That did it. I asked her to grab us some food from a pizza place for the road and then we would leave. Instead, I told my friends she was staying in Detroit. I left her there with no money, her clothes packed in the back of the van. I did not say a word. I just left. She came from a poor family who were not much help in getting her back home. She called me five days later, begging me to Western Union her some money. I was not kind in my response. I am paraphrasing here, but I told her I was sure she could find someone at a truck stop and pay them the only way she knew how. Many years later, I looked her up on Facebook. I figured she would have died by then. Instead, I found out she had gotten sober, gone back to school, and was working in rocket propulsion at an aerospace firm. She was married to a guy ten years her senior, and he was a stay at home dad. She had really turned her life around. These are the moments you look back on as an adult and feel happy for the person. You forgive them and view it from a place of understanding instead of anger. Not me. Screw that pig. I wish I had left her even further away.

@AmericaPapaBear If you're old enough to be in high school, you're old enough to catching a beating if you decide to buck up on somebody.

MUST SEE: A SHOCKING scene played out at Lincoln High School in Lincoln, California where a staff member was recorded fighting with a student! What the video doesn't show is that the student slapped or punched a teacher multiple times. Once escorted out, the student continued to attack the staff and this is what happened. Is this an appropriate way to handle violent students?

@HelmerVA I would encourage you to take this shtick back to New Jersey.

I passed the National Guard Integrity and Democracy Protection Act because the President should follow the Constitution. As an officer in the army and as a Delegate, I swore an oath to defend it - and I’ll continue working every day to protect Virginians and uphold that promise.

Virginians: there are few people that hate gerrymandering more than me. But the Republicans violated norms with the Texas mid-decade redistricting, simply to grab power. The ONLY way to stop these acts is to make them backfire. Vote YES on the redistricting measure… otherwise their sick move will be rewarded. If you dislike gerrymandering make it clear that Texas gerrymandering will backfire.

@The_BKC Why not make it $100 an hour?

I will not understand the misery of a life a person must have to be mad about this!!

@sky_sachin_ @ElijahSchaffer Simmer down, dalit. You're tweeting from India.

100+ Indians paying full price, ordering grilled cheese for the whole fam, asking about veggies like civilized humans. Meanwhile Elijah: crying on Twitter because brown people eat fast food and have accents thicker than his victim complex. H1B chads building the tech that runs America while you run out of milkshake money. 😅 Cycle of cope continues. Repeat 10x.

100+ Indians clogging the lines at In n Out Over 90% on temp H1B & F2 visas *ask a million questions about the vegetables *all order grilled cheeses for the 11 family members GRILLED CHEESE AT IN N OUT AS AN ADULT! Cycle continues. Repeat 10x This is life in Frisco, TX

@CBHeresy You're a lucky guy! The only Indian scam calls I get have to do with Medicare fraud. I play along and tell them I'm a 71 year old man named Eddie Van Halen and then curse at them in Hindi about 5 minutes into the call.

I work from home, and sometimes it gets boring and lonely, so recently I’ve taken to answering those Indian scammer calls on my headset and dragging them out as long as possible with increasingly bizarre antics. Today I had one where the scammer was trying to get me to buy gift cards at a store and send him the codes so he could allegedly send me cash. I don’t even know what the scam was supposed to be—it was really poorly thought out on their end—but I played along. After about 30 minutes of pretending I was incredibly incompetent—having all sorts of difficulty starting my car and getting to the store—I told the guy I had arrived at Walmart. You could hear the excitement in his voice—this was a man who clearly had very little success doing this. I even played sound effects from YouTube videos I had open in a bunch of tabs so he could hear me parking, entering the store, etc. “Yes, sir! Very good! Cannot wait—I can send you the cash!” Then things got interesting. I told him to hold on while I got the cards, explaining that I didn’t have any money. He became a bit concerned and said, “Please, sir, just buy the cards.” Then, as loud as I could, right in his ear: “EVERYONE GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND! I’VE GOT A GUN!” plays YouTube clip of people screaming The guy lost it: “Oh my God, sir, what are you doing?! Oh my God! Oh my God! Please stop!” Too late. For about five minutes, I narrated a high-stakes robbery, complete with me losing my cool, gunshot sound effects, audio clips of women screaming, etc. It was the most harrowing five minutes of this poor guy’s life, as he kept telling me to stop and just give him the card numbers quickly. When it was over, I made sure to let him know that I got the cards and killed anyone who tried to stop me—just as he had asked. Clearly nervous he would somehow be implicated in this robbery-turned–mass murder he facilitated overseas, he emphatically told me that he only wanted me to buy the cards and did not ask me to do any of this. I ended with a police siren and me pretending to run away before screaming, playing the gunshot sound effects again, and abruptly ending the call. I honestly don’t know why he stayed on the call as long as he did, considering how panicked he sounded at various points—maybe he thought I’d still give him the card numbers and PINs after the botched robbery—but I can’t imagine Mr. Patel will be scamming anyone for some time. So—how did you guys spend your workday?

@salimforva 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 🇧🇩 🇧🇩

Instead of wasting taxpayer money bombing schools overseas, maybe we could invest that money building schools here. Choose classrooms, not war.

@DrewSav Agreed. I haven't felt this confident about polling data since Hiliary Clinton ran for president

I just don't see any reason to believe the Virginia Redistricting Referendum will be close/

@marcorandazza It was mostly upper middle class suburban yuppies in Fairfax and Arlington counties that supported this idiot cause "derp derp orange man bad". That was her main appeal.

What did you dumbfucks THINK she was gonna be like???

@oconnor_reports Helmer is from New Jersey and moved to Virginia about 5 minutes ago you lying retard.

A Virginia Republican says that two Democratic state lawmakers are "non-Virginians." It's worth noting that he's talking about Del. Helmer, who is Jewish, and state Sen. Salim, who is Muslim.

@AdamParkhomenko LOL, "temporary". That's rich. You fucking idiots only want to more and more control. Eat shit Adam.

Virginia stands at a crossroads. While Texas forced redistricting without voter input, we have a choice. Our amendment is temporary, voter approved, and restores balance. Don't let other states tilt the scales unchallenged. Vote YES on April 21. #VirginiaVoteYes

@PitManHokie @NoVA_Campaigns @PatHerrity @fairfaxcounty I would be more curious as to what time period the pension fund is being evaluated. Also, why would its benchmark be the S&P or the Dow? That makes no sense. It's a pension fund, not a large cap stock fund.

@NoVA_Campaigns @PatHerrity @fairfaxcounty And the cause of the lower performance is due to what factor(s)?

Fairfax VA’s lone conservative on the BoS, @PatHerrity, reveals that @fairfaxcounty’s 3 pension funds are performing BELOW the DOW and S&P, despite high admin costs to run them. Tax dollars wasted “Pensions costs – BoS has yet to be briefed on the pension fund study. We spend significant dollars on administration ofthree separate pension funds that have significantly worse returns than the Virginia Retirement System and basic index funds like the Dow Jones and S&P”

@royermattw @washingtonpost Maybe, maybe not. We will find out on April 21

The interviews in this @washingtonpost story read like: “we found an a self-described independent voter to weigh in on Spanberger. He watches Fox News religiously, voted for Trump three times, and is a 4chan regular. Shockingly, he is not a fan.”

@Abir2 @BillAckman @X Your heart is in the right place but I don't think that's exactly how the American civil court system works.

I am reaching out to the @X community for advice with the likely risk of sharing TMI. I have been sufficiently upset about the whole matter that I have lost sleep thinking about it and I am hoping that this post will enable me to get this matter off my chest. By way of background, I started a family office called TABLE about 15 years ago and hired a friend who had previously managed a family office, and years earlier, had been my personal accountant. She is someone that I trusted implicitly and consider to be a good person. The office started small, but over the last decade, the number of personnel and the cost of the office grew massively. The growth was entirely on the operational side as the investment team has remained tiny. While my investment portfolio grew substantially, the investments I had made were almost entirely passive and TABLE simply needed to account for them and meet capital calls as they came in. While TABLE purchased additional software and other systems that were supposed to improve productivity, the team kept increasing in size at a rapid rate, and the expenses continued to grow even faster. While I would periodically question the growing expenses and high staff turnover, I stayed uninvolved with the office other than a once-a-year meeting when I briefly reviewed the operations and the financials and determined bonus compensation for the President and the CFO. I spent no time with any of the other employees or the operations. The whole idea behind TABLE was that it would handle everything other than my day job so that I would have more time for my job and my family. Over the last six years, expenses ballooned even further, employee turnover accelerated, and I became concerned that all was not well at TABLE. It was time for me to take a look at what was going on. Nearly four years ago, I recruited my nephew who had recently graduated from Harvard and put him to work at Bremont, a British watchmaker, one of my only active personal investments to figure out the issues at the company and ultimately assist in executing a turnaround. He did a superb job. When he returned from the UK late last year after a few years at Bremont, I asked him to help me figure out what was going on with TABLE. When I explained to TABLE’s president what he would be doing, she became incredibly defensive, which naturally made me more concerned. My nephew went to work by first meeting with each employee to understand their roles at the company and to learn from them what ideas they had on how things could be improved. He got an earful. Our first step in helping to turn around TABLE was a reduction in force including the president and about a third of the team, retaining excellent talent that had been desperate for new leadership. Now here is where I need your advice. All but one of the employees who were terminated acted professionally and were gracious on the way out (excluding the president who had a notice period in her contract, is currently still being paid, and with whom I have not yet had a discussion). The highest compensated terminated employee other than the president, an in-house lawyer (let’s call her Ronda), told us that three months of severance was not enough and demanded two years’ severance despite having worked at the company for only two and one half years. When I learned of Ronda's request for severance, I offered to speak with her to understand what she was thinking, but she refused to do so. A few days ago, we received a threatening letter from a Silicon Valley law firm. In the letter, Ronda’s counsel suggests that her termination is part of longstanding issues of ‘harassment and gender discrimination’ – an interesting claim in light of the fact that Ronda was in charge of workplace compliance – and that her termination was due to: “unlawful, retaliatory, and harmful conduct directed towards her. Both [Ronda] and I [Ronda’s lawyer] have spoken with you about [Ronda’s] view of what a reasonable resolution would include given the circumstances. Thus far, TABLE has refused to provide any substantive response. This letter provides the last opportunity to reach a satisfactory agreement. If we cannot do so, [Ronda] will seek all appropriate relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.” The letter goes on to explain the basis for the “unsafe work environment” claim at TABLE: “In early 2026, Pershing Square’s founder Bill Ackman installed his nephew in an unidentified role at TABLE, Ackman’s family office. [His nephew]—whose only work experience had been for TABLE where he was seconded abroad for the last four years to a UK watch company held by Ackman—began appearing at TABLE’s offices and conducting interviews of employees without a clear explanation of his role or the purposes of these interviews. During this period, he made a series of inappropriate and genderbased [sic] comments to multiple employees that created an unsafe work environment. Among other things, [his nephew] made remarks about female employees’ ages (“Tell me you are nowhere near 40”), physical appearance (“Your body does not look like you have kids”), as well as intrusive questions about family planning and sexual orientation (“Who carried your son? Who will carry your next child?”). These incidents were reported to senior leadership at TABLE and Pershing Square. Rather than being addressed appropriately, the response from senior management reflected, at best, willful blindness to the inappropriateness of [his nephew]’s remarks and, at worst, tacit endorsement.” The above allegations about my nephew had previously been brought to my attention by TABLE’s president when they occurred. When I learned of them, I told the president that I would speak to him directly and encouraged her to arrange for him to get workplace sensitivity training. The president assured me that she would do so. When I spoke to my nephew, he explained what he actually had said and how his actual remarks had been received, not at all as alleged in the legal letter from Ronda’s counsel. I have also spoken to others at the lunch table who confirmed his description of the facts. In any case, he meant no harm, was simply trying to build rapport with other employees, and no one, as far as I understand, was offended. Ironically, Ronda claims in her legal letter that TABLE didn’t take HR compliance seriously, yet Ronda was in charge of HR compliance at TABLE and the person who gave my nephew his workplace sensitivity training after the alleged incidents. In any case, Ronda, as head of compliance, should have kept a record or raised an alarm if indeed there was pervasive harassment or other such problems at the company, and there is no evidence whatsoever that this is true. So why does Ronda believe she can get me to pay her nearly $2 million, i.e., two years of severance, nearly one year of severance for each of her years at the company? Well, here is where some more background would be helpful. Over the last two months, I have been consumed with a major family medical issue – one of my older daughters had a massive brain hemorrhage on February 5th and has since been making progress on her recovery – and I am in the midst of a major transaction for my company which I am executing from a hospital room office next to her . While the latter business matter is publicly known, the details of my daughter’s situation are only known to Ronda because of her role at our family office. Now, let’s get back to the subject at hand. Unfortunately, while New York and many other states have employment-at-will, there has emerged an industry of lawyers who make a living from bringing fake gender, race, LGBTQ and other discrimination employment claims in order to extract larger severance payments for terminated employees, and it needs to stop. The fake claim system succeeds because it costs little to have a lawyer send a threatening letter and nearly all of the lawyers in this field work on contingency so there is no or minimal cash cost to bring a claim. And inevitably, nearly 100% of these claims are settled because the public relations and legal costs of defending them exceed the dollar cost of the settlement. The claims are nearly always settled with a confidentiality agreement where the employee who asserts the fake claims remains anonymous and as a result, there is no reputational cost to bringing false claims. The consequences of this sleazy system (let’s call it ‘the System’) are the increased costs of doing business which is a tax on the economy and society. There are other more serious problems due to the System. Unfortunately, the existence of an industry of plaintiff firms and terminated employees willing to make these claims makes it riskier for companies to hire employees from a protected class, i.e., LGBTQ, seniors, women, people of color etc. because it is that much more reputationally damaging and expensive to be accused of racism, sexism, and/or intolerance for sexual diversity than for firing a white male as juries generally have less sympathy for white males. The System therefore increases the risk of discrimination rather than reducing it, and the people bringing these fake claims are thereby causing enormous harm to the other members of these protected classes. So what happened here? Ronda was vastly overpaid and overqualified for the job that she did at TABLE. She was paid $1.05 million plus benefits last year for her work which was largely comprised of filling out subscription agreements and overseeing an outside law firm on closing passive investments in funds and in private and venture stage companies, some compliance work, and managing the office move from one office to another. She had a very good gig as she was highly paid, only had to go into the office three days a week, and could work from anywhere during the summer. Once my nephew showed up and started to investigate what was going on, she likely concluded that there was a reasonable possibility she would be terminated, as her job was in the too-easy-and-to-good-to-be-true category. The problem was that she was not in a protected class due to her race, age or sexual identity so she had to construct the basis for a claim. While she is female and could in theory bring a gender-based discrimination claim, she reported to the president who is female and to whom she is very close, which makes it difficult for her to bring a harassment claim against her former boss. When my nephew complimented a TABLE employee at lunch about how young she looked – in response to saying she was going to her 40-year-old sister’s birthday party, he said ‘she must be your older sister’ – Ronda immediately reported it to our external HR lawyer. She thereby began building her case. The other problem for Ronda bringing a claim is that she was terminated alongside 30% of other TABLE employees as part of a restructuring so it is very difficult for her to say that she was targeted in her termination or was retaliated against. TABLE is now hiring an external fractional general counsel as that is all the company needs to process the relatively limited amount of legal work we do internally. In short, Ronda was eminently qualified and capable and did her job. She was just too much horsepower for what is largely an administrative legal role so she had to come up with something else to bring a claim. Now Ronda knew I was a good target and it was a good time to bring a claim against me. She also knew that I was under a lot of pressure because on March 4th when Ronda was terminated, my daughter had not yet emerged from consciousness, she was not yet breathing on her own, and my daughter and we were fighting for her life. I was and remain deeply engaged in her recovery while at the same time I was working on finishing the closing for the private placement round for my upcoming IPO. Ronda also knew that publicity about supposed gender discrimination and a “hostile and unsafe work environment” are not things that a CEO of a company about to go public wants to have released into the media. And she may have thought that the nearly $2 million she was asking for would be considered small in the context of the reputational damage a lawsuit could cause, regardless of the fact that two years of severance was an absurd amount for an employee who had only worked at TABLE for 30 months. She also likely considered that I wouldn’t want to embarrass my nephew by dragging him into the klieg lights when her claims emerged publicly. So, in summary, game theory would say that I would certainly settle this case, for why would I risk negative publicity at a time when I was preparing our company to go public and also risk embarrassing my nephew. Notably, she hired a Silicon Valley law firm, rather than a typical NY employment firm. This struck me as interesting as her husband works for one of the most prominent Silicon Valley venture firms whose CEO, I am sure, has no tolerance for these kinds of fake claims that sadly many venture-backed companies also have to deal with. I mention this as I suspect her husband likely has been working with her on the strategy for squeezing me as, in addition to being a computer scientist, he is a game theorist. My only advice for him is to understand more about your opponent before you launch your first move. All of the above said, gender, race, LGBTQ and other such discrimination is a real thing. Many people have been harmed and deserve compensation for this discrimination, and these companies and individuals should be punished for engaging in such behavior. Which brings me to the advice I am seeking from the X community. I am not planning to follow the typical path and settle this ‘claim.’ Rather, I am going to fight this nonsense to the end of the earth in the hope that it inspires other CEOs to do the same so we shut down this despicable behavior that is a large tax on society, employment, and the economy and contributes to workplace discrimination rather than reducing it. Do you agree or disagree that this is the right approach?

@BillAckman @X Do it. It is the right thing to do.
