Their greed cost them a lot of money and us.

Greed is a big problem. But not only that vetting and finding the right person isn't easy either. People are lazy and don't do their homework. Finding the right people is hard hard work. When I was hiring for big positions within the company it took me well over a year to fill those positions. I got job applications and emails from every big name guy that you see bouncing from company to company but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to find the right person. The person that fit with me and our business. It took me almost 2 years to find Mpahlca and the time it took was well well worth it.
If it doesn't feel right it isn't right. Has to feel right from the beginning. Note as i type that I realize I don't follow my own advice enough.
