A New Jersey company paid A man half a million dollars. But there is just one thing that's a little different....he didn't work for the company.Anthony Armatys got hired by a telecommunications giant Avaya for more than 100,000 a year. This happened in 2002. But then he decided to not take the job, but the payroll department was uninformed. So for five years he got paid for doing absolutely nothing. But later he pleaded guilty for second-degree theft and had to pay $470,995 back to Avaya. Also a 6 year jail sentence. I have a lot to say about this. For one thing, how can you be so stupid to pay someone for a job there not doing. I wonder how they managed to do that. Also I find this pretty funny. The idea of a person getting money for doing nothing makes me laugh. Also I am suprised the guy accepted the paychecks. If the payroll department was Accidently giving me money, I would tell them so they could stop and things could be fair. Well let's hope the next time this guys get's money, he is actually working.
