Is it just me or does anyone else sense the burning fire that has been ignited? There is a reckoning coming just as I have long been saying. Is my story going to be fuel for this fire? I have taken such increadable abuse by the corrupt and rigged system. There are those who do know what has transpired with me. When my FULL story of ALL the corruption that I have endured is exposed publicly and those responsible identified, what do you think the consequences will be?
I completely agree that karma gets everyone. My challenge has been that I never get to control the timing or the consequences.
Early in my career I did some audit work and caught a Division accounting type cooking the books. Not only was that issue buried, but it turned out he was a favorite of the Corp. CFO who promoted him to be my boss about a year later. Perfect.
Needless to say I was out the door. But before I left, he needed me to complete his budget and five year plan. So I had a firm date on which I was to be fired. He hired my replacement to arrive the day after. Then he got sick when the day arrived. I went down to HR and fired myself. It became sort of a legendary story at the company.
I had a lot of resentment and time on my hands to think about it while I looked for another job. It wasn't healthy. My wife and I came up with a solution that we've used many many times since. We bought a bottle of good champaigne and put his name on it, and kept it cold. We transferred the resentment to the bottle as best we could and waited.
A couple years later, he was made president of a division, which was then sold off to another company. He remained president and was given 100,000 shares of stock in the new company, which he couldn't sell for 3 years. The stock was worth $7 million. Then he was caught cooking the books again. There was a scandal and the stock went from $70 to $0 before he was allowed to sell. $7 million down the tubes in one day.
We took out the bottle, drank it, and peed away the resentment that night. Can't tell you how many times we've done that over the years, but there are no bottles of champaigne left in the fridge.
We are all dealing within the context of corrupt and rigged systems. Imagine the folks who were shut out of buying stocks today in RobinHood and then had their positions sold out without their authorization at the bottom of the market, and then became aware that their personal information might be sent to the SEC by RobinHood if requested, so that they can be investigated for being in a chatroom - while the hedge funds that shorted 139% of Gamestop float won't even get a phone call.
The trick is to find that road to what's next, getting past the abuse, identifying a protocol that shortens the time between the crime and the future recovery. Not easy. Never was.
For me, the fire you speak of was ignited during the Occupy Wall St. movement. Still waiting for the reckoning on the manipulation of precious metals prices. I can't even quantify the damage.
It sounds like your experiences have been difficult to overcome, but I wish you luck with the battles, and I think with determination (which you clearly have), you'll be successful.
