Ducati North America Raided by the FBI

[Slow Goat]

I always thought the costs for valve service was criminal but.....

 

[horsepower]

& they just called to fire me, can't say I'm shocked.

What. the. hell ?
Did they fire everyone ? Did they say “fired” or “let go “? Did they fire the other employees who were there during the raid ? So confused.


2021 is already shaping up to be the year of weird , scary shit that doesn’t make any sense but still happens.

What in the world!!???!! Jeez, what’s going on? If it’s financial, I guess it had to do with IRS mishap or misfile or whatever. That doesn’t sound good.

I ride triumphs now but my heart beats like a Desmo and I feel weird without a Ducati. I hope everyone there are ok.

:-(

Damn! Sorry to hear about that Skip, happened to me a couple times, and it’s pretty gnarly.

By the way, if you’re looking for work PM me, got a bike needs work.

What makes you think these kinds of activities typically get media coverage?

It is why I asked?

BARF gets a shout out in this article about the raid:

And a big to RRW for naming elskip which apparently caused him to be fired.

Let's wait for confirmation before the lynching occurs.

That's an asshole move. If it was because of this thread, it's not like you shared info that wasn't already out there.

1-7.400 is a good place to start reading.

Being all complicit with info leaks and all, , ,

I posted, I'm toast too?

No just me. I can't remember the exact verbage, but basically I can't work there anymore. To my knowledge no one else was let go. I'm a contractor for them, even though they provide a uniform, I'm sometimes supervised & they provide all the tools & equipment to preform the work. The line gets a little blurry when looking at the differences between employees & contractors in California.

Now the news has landed in Italy ... and here too.

That ain't no line.
Uniform
Tools
Supervise
Equipment
Shop
You're an employee, no way around it.
Doesn't matter though, Ca is an At Will state. You can be fired for wearing the wrong colored shoes.

[Lowerside]

Well of course. We're clearly a cloak and dagger operation that trades juicy corporate secrets for BARF crypto.

El Skip should sue.
