"Hi steven. I think we do not report ___ to the police"

Hi steven. I think we do not report ___ to the police. Just tell them that we find out he stole the money from us and we forgive him.

Putra sent this message to me at 8:07 pm this evening on my way back from work.

An ex-employee was stealing from us.

Last week, we found out an ex-employee has been stealing from the company. He was well-liked by everyone. My cousin invited and showed him around Kuala Lumpur for the weekend, and colleagues bought him gifts when they returned from their vacations. Even Putra thought of him as a nice guy. Then we found out that he was selling our company cryptocurrency assets and stealing it for himself.

To live and let live.

The ex-employee has a side hustle in Singapore with his girlfriend. The easy thing to do was to report this case to the police and let the police to handle. I was sharing this with Putra, as the dev team was preparing the evidence in the background.

Then Putra sent me that text. And immediately I knew that was the right thing to do. And that is what I am going to do this time: To live my life with uplifting peers in my life.
