I took a bunch of meetings with the CEO of a company providing HR/payroll services.

Super nice guy and I thought his business/offering was really compelling, it just wasn't right for me at the time.

Like 6 months later it comes out that he had stolen like $25 million from clients over the year (money that was supposed to be used to pay payroll taxes).

Never would've guessed it.
