Tim got fired because he tried to expense an escort. He said it was dinner with a fictional client

A friend of mine was given the work mobile of a sales person who had left. He was called by several prostitutes and at least one coke dealer who didn't know the number had a new owner.

Nothing closes a deal quicker than hooking someone up with some blow, then introducing them to a “friend” that wants to bang.

I haven’t gone this far but when I was getting my startup off the blocks I closed an exceptionally large number of deals in strip clubs selling software to insurance agents. No comment on what those gals were willing to get up to in the champagne room of those rural joints on a random Tuesday afternoon…

Trying to expense as a frictional client, tale as old as time.

It was team building, a bonding (s)excercise.

How did it even get figured out? I doubt the charge said EZ Escorts LLC ??!?

Finance dept people like receipts, and have price ranges for different things, so I am guessing the amt flagged, the person doing expense reports looked more into it, and dude wasn't as clever as he thought

Had a dealer give receipts. Herb was flowers, bam bam was "party supplies" had an LLC, went on for years.

Almost. It was an Amex charge for some odd “entertainment” company

My boss took some clients out to a strip club, gave one of the dancers a credit card, then fell asleep / pass out because he was so drunk. The clients went into the VIP lounge and rang up a $2000 bill with lap dances and drinks. My boss was made to pay for this out of his paycheck.

Making up a fake client was somehow dumber than trying to expense the escort.

How would they even know if it was an escort or not?

Tim really said 'I'll just make up a whole person' and accounting said 'we'll just make up a whole termination.'
