Malicious compliance story.

Friend of mine was paying child support for his kids, his ex wife was claiming no income as she had to look after the kids which he knew was bullshit and she was working in the new boyfriends restaraunt but claimed that she was just "helping out when she could. That stopped for a year when her and her new boyfriend wanted to buy a house, so he gave her a very nicely paid job working at his restaraunt as a "manager". They found and bought a house and immediately she was "fired" and went back to seeking child support.

So he sued to have the child support lowered as she can clearly work when it suits her goals and she fought it kicking and fucking screaming, tried taking away his access to the kids and generally making his life hell. So he went to the tax office with a hot tip "I'm willing to bet that between (insert dates here) this restaraunt somehow took in exactly (insert what ex-wife made + taxes) more than they normally do per year. Id be willing to bet it was their best year ever and I guarantee you will find some very cooked books"

Turns out its really easy to get custody when your ex-wife is being charged with fraud and tax evasion.

So he went to the tax office with a hot tip

You had me up until here. But the idea that a local tax office is going to follow a "hot tip" off of anyone, much less an ex-husband, is laughable. I've had to negotiate with the staff of my local tax office before and they don't move a muscle unless someone up the bureaucratic chain orders it. Maybe this guy was friends with the State AG somehow? Or some other senior bureaucrat? But past that, this sounds like total fiction.

Ok. I dont care.

I thought that the IRS actually does have a anonymous tip line?

No matter how you feel about it, he was a fool to make a public post about it.

Only if you assume he was telling the truth and not a tall story

“This profile is a safe space for billionaires…” gives it away.

I’m 99% sure that alimony doesn’t work like that in the US. Are there any countries where it does work that way?

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 4 months ago

Guessing both dudes are in India

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

At least somewhere in southern mainland Asia, yes, but I’m curious about whether this joke would actually work in any countries, India included. Are you affirming that it works in India?

It’s a LinkedIn post I donno any details but u can sleuth it up

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It works because it highlights two issues in India, the justice system being in favour for women and the casual misogynism

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

I meant to ask whether this premise would function irl, but this interpretation is funnier.

[-] altasshet@lemmy.ca 86 points 4 months ago

We are aware that the original post is a joke, right? "Safe space for billionaires"?! Though I think the reposter at the top might not have clued in.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 4 months ago

Yea that’s why I included the repost

[-] altasshet@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Thanks for confirming. My comment wasn't really aimed at you, more at the thread as a whole.

I mean, he's got the spirit? Is this chaotic neutral?

[-] Black_Quajutsu 22 points 4 months ago

It's lawful evil if anything

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

You might have a point looking at the state of society and the legality of that action in their country. But without any of that information it looks like their just serving their and their own's best interest which would fall under the neutral category in DnD. Thus we see why alignment charts suck tarrasque balls.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago

People don't seem to understand that chaos is opposed to law, and is unrelated to the evilness of the character - that chaotic evil is no more evil than lawful evil

[-] icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Actually good but he still writes like a psycho

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Neither of these men have been divorced, yet.
