Reality is that they have opened themselves up to a case that can be brought to the DA and the DA can pursue charges against the salary fraud. If I was an American, I would be doing this regardless.... This facebook post of theirs just did two things 1.) Confirm its them. 2.) Lose them the ability to settle this quietly. They could have quietly sat down with Penny and sort this out, but they didn't... that ship has sailed, they had one card in the deck to play, which was "Heres money, now take the post down and sign this non-disclosure". But by posting it this on Facebook, then well .. they lost the ability to pretend it was not them.. there goes the ability to enforce a NDA. They won't pay her now, the best they can do is "Don't go to the DA and we will give you the money" Which they won't do.

That there was apparently not NDA required on her exit more than anything just how amateur this Choi is. All he had to do was give her an extra grand specifically as compared consideration for an NDA and nothing but the government complaints would be said. Obviously you can't prohibit the reporting of a crime but she already did that anyway. Which makes me wonder, why isn't she under an NDA already? Every one I've signed prohibit discussing practices even after termination for cause.

  Perhaps because said NDA wouldn't stand up in the event that they didn't pay? (especially since the disclosures related to said lack of payment). She wasn't disclosing their secret sauce recipe.

Forging the Wells Fargo transfers is a crime. I don't believe you can use an NDA to stop someone from reporting a crime.

  You can't stop someone from reporting a crime to the authorities, but you can definitely stop them from discussing the matter publicly (which includes talking to the press or self publishing).
