It gets worse, the more you make the more they take.

Not against the law...but against morality.\nYou are using someone else's account..

No that is illegal. And why would you post such a question when the RIAA has announced they are monitoring such forums as this, in order to prosecute more people for music piracy? Copyright infringement carries large fines, it is much cheaper for you to buy the music you want. More honest also.\nWhy would you want to steal from others.\nContribute to society, don't leech off of it.

Yes, he is violating several state and local laws.  Tax evasion is the big one.  But he is also hurting you, you could face tax evasion as well if you do not report the income and pay taxes on it.  Not that it will  be there, but his not reporting also hurts you later in life when you try to collect social security, the less you pay in the less you get.  One last thing, with no record that you work there, you have no protection if you get hurt on the job.

It's not illegal as long as you are declaring your tips. If you aren't doing that, I have som bad news, it's illegal. You are taking in more money than you are claiming to. However, you are not the only person doing this so don't feel too bad about it.

That is called creative accounting. Think Enron, only on a very small scale :o)\n\nSure, others are doing it and maybe not getting caught. It all depends on your ethics, or lack of it. If you do it, just pray hard that IRS not audit your tax returns.

They getcha where they can. Both new and used or second hand items are taxable.\n\nPlaces I know where you might not pay tax is garage sales and e-Bay.

There are places you can go to get the help you need.There are websites with info.I personally would go to a higher authority than the police.A mayor,or judge.I`d publicize this bussiness`name and the cicumstances.Here in our state we have seven on your side.A place you can call into with such matters and they take care of it for you.According to your statement,this is nothing less than theft.If that`s the way the system works there,maybe we should all just get us a moving bussiness and keep whatever we want and sell the rest.We`d make a fortune!If we were as sorry as these people seem to be.

Yes.  If you obtain a product from the shelf and place it in a hiding place for later retrieval (such as a locker or purse), you can be charged with theft.\n\nDepending on your employer, and the state in which you live, if you purchased an item for consumption there, like a Coke, and don't keep your receipt to prove the purchase, you can be fired, or perhaps even charged with theft.\n\nIt is recommended that you maintain the highest standards of conduct so that you don't even give the appearance of impropriety.

That is not a good thing for him to be doing... But I would just hide your money really good and then just talk to him about what might happen if it wasnt you he was stealing from...Like Juvy or involvement of the police...Also you need to somehow set him straight...Maybe not desert if you have that in your house, or groundings....But nothing to harsh...THen that might give him other ideas...Just be a little harsh but not TOO harsh...

No that's not illegal, assuming you purchased them legally.  The question is, how are you going to turn a profit.  Can you buy them lower than the going rate?  Or sell them higher than the going rate?

It is morally wrong, your stealing something from someone who is paying for it and stealing bandwith from their service provider.\n\nLegally has yet to be determined, I bet a prosecutor could make a pretty good arguement that it is at least theft of services, the article below give a pretty good synopsis of the question.

No.  It's a lot of things, many of them illegal.  But I wouldn't call it stealing.  They didn't take something that belonged to someone else.  No one owns a job.  A job is not a property.\n\nIt is fraud, because they've used false ID, and used it to gain access to services they don't legitimately have access to.  It is also a violation of probably a dozen other laws, but I don't see any theft.

This one is practical: you would be gaining money the government cant afford to pay you. You would be claiming to have money that the government doesn't have record of, and that would be a national incident. If you were to buy something with fake money,you would be stealing from the person who is paid with it. When they turn it into the bank and get arrested, it isn't very fun for them.

Well it's illegal, so no, not really. You could get in big trouble for possession if you get caught.
