Prodigal employee and fraudulent customers

Well, if the last week was strange, this week started on a very surreal note. Amit, who had been fired last week, walked in at 9:30 along with boss. Well, well, the prodigal employee was back. Or was he? Monday and Tuesday were spent in watching his antics as he started throwing his weight around, shouting at people, intimidating some, browbeating others. It was both hilarious and nauseating simultaneously, comical and infuriating rolled into one. Add to that the drama enacted by Arin when Amit was taking a longggggg break. Arin was seen blabbering, shouting loudly, being obnoxious and once Amit came in, he went straight to enacting the nice persona. Talk about integrity and he is the living epitome of it !!!!! Oh, what surreal fun !!!! But it was too good to last :-) Amit walked out of office on Tue at 4 PM and rode straight into the sunset, never to come back (we all really hoped and prayed for that). The next day was spent in high anticipation. Will he come back? Won't he come in today? What will happen now? Well, Amit hasn't come in as yet and so has been marked as Employee Missing In Action. Anybody who knows anything about him is most welcome to share the news with us here. We just want to believe that he is settled where ever he is and that he won't come back to haunt us again. Oh, you ever elusive mental peace, how I beseech you?
On Friday evening, we discovered a customer who was defrauding us on a pretty regular basis. Of course there is a bug in poker server and this guy just stumbled upon it. And once he figured it out, he started milking in a very frenzied manner. By the time it was discovered that this guy was doing something funny, he had taken out 12K. Once we figured out the modus operandi, the account was requested to be blocked for the time being. Some 2 weeks ago, 3 players had colluded and committed a fraud of Rs 3.1 lakh again on the poker table. So, that's the next high priority item for now. Fix all the bugs related to money asap.
