It's a Rashomon crime, because 'Office Space' was inspired by 'Superman III'!

Now all they need to do is make a movie about this crime, and it'll be a movie crime inspired by a movie crime inspired by a movie crime!

Dipshits, the crime was inspired by "Superman III" and "Office Space" said this out loud!!

The technique is called Salami Slicing, where many small actions add up to a fat payoff.

More info (and plot mentions) here.

This is totally an aside, but I kind of love how the news site felt we needed to know where their company HQ is in Seattle. I mean, I actually have a frame of reference for it and appreciate it a little, but it really doesn't matter for the story.

Sounds like someone might get sent to federal pound you in the … prison.

It only grinds my gears because the latest few generations don't value the width and breadth of sheer data and knowlege available to them and instead take the easy path when overwhelmed by all the options- knowledge is losing value by becoming too easy. All the jokers that come to reddit to ask a question they could just as easily (and more often, more reliably) answer with their own quick websearch bear out this premise.

And that phrase way, way predates Seth McFarlane, all of his genius, AND the 80's!

Article says he had his plan written out in a document on his laptop. That and actual boxes of stolen merchandise outside his front door (because stealing money apparently wasn't enough) make this the slammiest slam dunk case that ever got slammed. Lex Luthor he is not.

Did they put the decimal point in the wrong place?

Looks like he’s headed to a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

Almost as stupid as uploading a video trying to show you're a super baller with background room hardwood, big cigar, fluffy attire, and then having two cardboard pizza boxes shoved in frame proving your location

His fatal mistake was not burning the office down to cover his tracks.

I haven't seen that movie in like 15 years, because they used to play it on Comedy Central about every night, but I for some reason remember the Superman III thing. As soon as I saw this I thought it was a bit oniony maybe if you said inspired by Office Space which was inspired by Superman III, but still kind of a stretch. It's a completely logical way to steal money without being noticed.
