I'm pretty sure this is a crime....Doc?
So yesterday a woman I hooked up with quite a while ago messaged me, asking for a big favor. She worked from home doing tech support, she got fired, running out of money, needs a new job. The problem? She's an illegal, which I didn't know. She can't get the new job she wants, which is basically the same as the old (no idea how she got the old one). She wants me to apply for the job, she does the job, and I get her paycheck and she has to hope I'm honest enough to give her the pay (with me taking a cut).
Obviously I told her no. It sounds like fraud and the IRS don't fuck around. Not to mention it would bump me into another tax bracket and make me pay higher taxes on my entire income, so I'd have to take that out of her pay as well. She'd end up working for $10/hr after I took care of myself, plus I'd have to take a cut for my effort and pain in the ass. Maybe another % for my risk fucking with the IRS and committing fraud for an illegal.
Obviously I told her no and I wouldn't even do that shit for a close friend or girlfriend. It's not worth the risk or headache to make a few extra bucks. But I'm curious exactly what laws that would be breaking? FTR - She's asian, not hispanic.
