Saying Goodbye

Saunders bid farewell to his friends and spoke to a lawyer about what he had been doing. He stopped transacting altogether and reported his actions to the bank manager via a phone call, but he still had $80,000 with him, which he spent on what he felt were his last days as a free man. Then, he moved to Victoria and resumed living his life as a waiter. Surprisingly, the bank hadn’t taken action at all. And over the next 18 months, he learned something new: that the owners of the restaurant he worked for were scamming their very own staff and crew. So, he decided to commit another crime.

Becoming Robin Hood

Saunders went to the restaurant after midnight, stole $21,000 in cash from the safe. He then distributed the money amongst the cheated waiters and suppliers. He also kept some for himself for the unpaid wages and owed holiday pay. He then decided to gather the staff and treat them out to a fancy meal that they all enjoyed. He was going to get into trouble for this, but at this point, it no longer mattered.
