It's a very easily spotted fraud.

What if this was based on telephone interview?

What if remote, and one would be none the wiser?

As long as results happen, things move forward, are we not all happy?

What if the remote role was ostensibly being done by one person, but in fact they delegated to a team of people? A team of people that themselves come and go but all get managed into the same bodyshop? Does that matter as long as the work's getting done? What if, to mitigate potential loss of IP, a third-party information security policy needed to be agreed? Is it then turtles all the way down?




Trust matters in relationships. Finding out that a working relationship started off with a lie is going to poison that relationship. I’d forever be wondering what other as shortcuts and risks they are taking. Are they taking shortcuts like incorporating code we don’t have rights to into the product? Will they some insecure shortcut and leave me vulnerable? More importantly, what would my customers think of they knew that the company they entrust their valuable data with was willing to continue to employ a person with such ethics?

Honesty and integrity do matter. Trust matters.
