I was fired from a job at a small web development company that was run by a felon (found out after). I was fired around noon on a Friday and at 1 PM found out that my monthly paycheck had bounced. When I would make regular calls to the office asking about my paycheck he would not take my calls so I’d explain the situation to whoever did answer. The company went from 20 employees to less than a dozen in under a week. Then, the owner sued everyone who quit claiming that someone hacked their servers. I counter sued for my missing wages (until I needed a lawyer I was planning to drop the issue). When we showed up in court he had no evidence of anything so he dropped his suit, but my counter-suit stuck. We got a judgement against him and the business which they never paid. After some legal work, we got the local police to enforce the judgement. We showed up at the office with the police and the police told everyone to leave the office and then the police put a padlock on the door. That got me a check for my missing wages to reopen their doors, but the company was liable for the court costs and fees which meant another judgement and eventually another padlocking. After the second time they didn’t reopen. In order to secure the balance due for the fees, we seized one of the company’s domain names (which was three letters long) which went to a county sheriff's auction. No one else showed up at the auction so I bought it for the price of paying my remaining court fees and later resold it.
