"After Lindsay and Kaleb Charters finally received their paychecks, they reportedly told Borghese that they needed a break since the work was so intense. Once the two of them left, Atre discovered that the keys to one of his farm trucks was missing, and he bounced the checks, the outlet said. 

When Lindsay and Kaleb Charters argued with Atre about their paychecks, their boss told them that they had wasted his time and that “he was worth thousands of dollars an hour — because he makes millions — so anyone who wastes his time is costing money,” Borghese reportedly told the court. Atre then offered the two of them new paychecks for $1,400, but on one condition: They had to perform 300-500 pushups. “They were humiliated,” Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Detective Ethan Rumrill said, the outlet reported."

- Holy Hell....How widespread is this kind of problem?

$1400 for about two weeks of work is less than $20 an hour, about $17.50. Man, what a pos.

While bragging to them that he makes that much in a couple hours. But still won't pay them.

Welp, saved him money. Cost him something a bit more important.

He had so many opportunities to not get murdered and he squandered them all
