“If you see fraud and do not say fraud, you are a fraud.” — Nicholas Nassim Taleb

What should people do when they realize their company is engaging in unethical practices? Can they collect their paycheck and distance themselves from the wrongdoing?

According to Budd Schulberg, this is impossible. As an example of doing the right thing, we can look to a young man who worked at Theranos. After uncovering serious issues at the healthcare startup, he reported them to the authorities despite facing threats and harassment from his former employer. He and his family even considered selling their home to cover legal costs. Marcus Aurelius once said, "Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn't matter." It's important to remember that doing the right thing can be difficult and costly, but it's still the right thing to do.

This quote serves as a reminder that in the face of dishonesty, it is important to have the courage to speak up and take action against it.

Best of luck,
