As a follow up, you'd be better protected if you DID have an employment agreement and things were spelled out. By not having one in this situation it puts you in a bad spot. Here's some more information that discusses this type of scenario: http://labor-employment-law.lawyers.com/employment-contracts...

I've been in this position and it didn't go well. Definitely avoid this scenario in the future. You can ask but I wouldn't be too optimistic and the conversation may not go well and impact your relationship with your employer.

A long time ago I owned the domain name saintlouis.com and had started a site that somehow eventually came under the wing of my employer. Needless to say I didn't own the saintlouis.com domain when I left not long after.

It speaks volumes. Either you are a complete look or you have a reason to be weary of being investigated by an undercover government agent. I'm pretty sure I know which is the case here.

Sounds like they were professional bull shitters. A professional isn't going to say that to you.

So you had a conversation with some guy in the airport and assume he's an undercover TSA agent based on what exactly? Nothing in the article substantiates the title. A conversation at an airport bar isn't exactly an interrogation. As far him leaving abruptly, it's an airport... it happens all the time. Everyone is coming and going.

Let's say he was undercover TSA. Which I'd say would be highly unlikely considering what TSA does and how they operate. But let's say he was. What exactly was his end game? Had you taken the bait and had a conversation about Ferguson what was he going to do? Detain you for having an opinion on a major news story?

TSA is about airport security. They don't give a shit what you think about Ferguson, the left, or the right. I'm not a fan of TSA as an organization and I've had run ins woh idiot TSA agents going through security but this is just plain silly.

As for it being some other type of undercover federal agent... your story still doesn't provide an explanation as to WHY they would be doing this to some random guy at an airport bar. Typically undercover ops are highly targeted. You don't get anywhere just randomly targeting strangers in an airport.

Sounds like the author needs an industrial strength tinfoil hat.

Another explanation? He was selling something. It's not uncommon for people to approach strangers with random small talk in order to try and all them something and abruptly move on when it's clear it won't go anywhere. It's also not unusual for the person I be a clean cut young white guy.

I used to get approached by people selling some crap Ameay affiliated ecommerce sales program a few years ago and it was always young, clean cut adults who would strike up random conversation at a grocery store, etc.

I'm guessing it was either that or just some random idiot. Nothing in this story screams you had a brush with an undercover government agent.

It you're going to claim this Kickstarter project is a scam, at least back it up with facts or something more tangible than just saying "scam".

We actually haven't been approached about funding by anyone, which is ironic considering we are actually very profitable. But then again, investors seem to love unprofitable investments for some reason. But that is a good thing. Being bootstrapped means more money in my pocket and nobody to answer to except my business partners, not an outside investor.

Sock puppet? Hardly. I just never bothered posting here before. This is my real name and i'm one of the co-founders of a successful 100% bootstrapped and profitable company that produces commercial plugins for WordPress.

I posted to show support for Page.ly because I know Josh and Co. at Page.ly bust their ass on a daily basis running their business.

The #winning was a lame reference to Charlie Sheen.

We are in the same boat. Our competitors have investors, what do we have instead? Profit, more of it every month and no investors to answer to. #winning
