Summary: GNU/Linux administrators and programmers were robbed by a company that calls itself 'Open Source'; what we see now is a bunch of firms 'passing the buck' to avoid being held accountable for the theft

MAYBE this was expected, but it's worth noting regardless. Yesterday we mentioned communications sent to the firm that does accounting for Sirius 'Open Source'. We contacted the accounting firm, urging it to refrain from collaborating and cautioning it that Sirius adopted its office address to make litigation harder if not impossible (the CEO moreover ran away, complicating matters further). What accountant wishes to associate with that, e.g. doing the accounting for or working with a company that commits financial fraud and moreover allowing that company to register with one's own office address (to pretend to have an office)?

"For about 3 or 4 years already the company has not even sent physical payslips (sometimes not electronic either)."Today, after 3 days, we can finally say that the accounting firm has no comment on the matter. A non-comment is perhaps seen as "safer" than doing something about it (except perhaps in private; time will tell). For the time being we won't mention the accounting firm as we cannot demonstrate complicity or culpability. It certainly seems like they're just signing off papers without actually checking what they do. For about 3 or 4 years already the company has not even sent physical payslips (sometimes not electronic either). It is of course a legal requirement. ⬆
