yall keep saying the wife knew are dumbasses.
Why would she risk a six figure income for $1.8 million? The risks simply doesn’t outweigh the reward, especially after it gets taxed.
The Husband was probably jealous, and neglected that his wife put her job before him, and she probably made more money as well.
So he does something to one up her knowing it was stupid. He panicked when it actually worked and told her.
He betrayed her trust, and put her career and freedom in jealousy. So of course she told her job immediately. Why? Because is there was an investigation months or years down the road, she would look like she did or cosigned what he did. Credibility shot, and she would face punishment as well.
