OK, I said my client but he actually works for me as a manager for one of my Divisions (Solar). I keep our accounting in Quickbooks and I'm doing his 2016 taxes both personally and his old business. I'm not a paid tax preparer or I wouldn't be asking these questions. I'm just going to reduce his salary next month. So he trusted him to give him access to the bank account to deposit and use for materials. They were "friends" BUT the lawsuits are going good for my manager. When this happened he couldn't pay his vendors or other employees and couldn't finish the job he was on and closed the business. Make sense now? Sorry for the confusion. It's been going on since Nov of 2016!! The "embezzler" is facing several felony charges and my manager is being sued as well for the money he owes them.
