>People like these are the reason why some employers will never trust remote employees.

So what? Those are irrational beliefs. Why should we care that someone never trusts remote workers?

You can never be 100% secure against fraud just like you can never be 100% secure against hacking.

We should certainly try to reduce the incidence of fraud, but only if you don't sacrifice the ability to hire who and when you need to.

Arguably not irrational, but even if it was, it matters because it causes a chilling effect for hiring.

Which WILL result in folks not being able to get hired that otherwise would be. It also will result in positions not being filled that are important at companies we likely depend on, resulting in lower quality of service and/or failures of those services.

It’s poisoning the remote employment well, essentially.
