To be fair, "You got caught smoking pot a decade ago, and therefore we cannot trust you to write Python code" isn't the kind of judgment a successful company would pass. That's the kind of thing a doomed company would do.
However, if you got caught stealing a bunch of electronics from a past employer, you'll have a seriously hard time find a job anywhere where they have to trust you with money or property.
Honestly, people who commit crimes against their employers do this to themselves. How could you ever be trusted again when your strategy at the beginning was to shit where you sleep?

That's the kind of thing a doomed company would do." I don't feel that's really relevant, and the person who is trying to get back on their feet likely doesn't care. They just want a damn job. "Honestly, people who commit crimes against their employers do this to themselves" Not many do. In fact, I'd say far more employers commit crimes against their employees than the other way around. And yet, they don't have to worry.
