Show me proof a company has had to pay back taxes for the situation called out. Not theoretical law based upon a DIFFERENT SITUATION where that employer hires people THEY KNOW are in another country....

That company employed 13 people in that state and all of them were residents. The company knew. This is not what we are talking about

generally TAX investigations where a settlement is reached are private / only reported where it goes to court and most pay before this.
there is also the issue that the employee is not "likely" to call attention to it if they are benefiting, but that doesn't mean that a company can take the risk.

Where are the others if this is such a huge liability issue? This article doesn't really have a lot of details and 500k number for one employee smells like bullshit. There is more to this story. Not sure what you are even trying to blame the company here for. How is the company supposed to pay taxes for an employee that did not notify them where he was living after they got their address when hired? Are you suggesting companies need to send private tax investigators out to verify addresses?
