Uncovered: 52 Explosive Secrets That Could Change Everything If Revealed
An old boss (who still owns and operates the same company) once confessed to me that his accountancy firm are blackmailing him. He used to own a couple of companies and casually transferred money between them and to himself in a way that’s definitely not legal. His accountancy firm basically stopped doing their job so he told them that he was going to find someone else. And they said “well, that’s perfectly within your rights. However, we’re deliberately not looking into the suspicious activity on dates x, y, z, etc., etc., etc. When we hand over documents to any new firm we will absolutely have to disclose all of this. Let us know where we should send the paperwork…”.
Another person’s secret becomes burdensome when it’s something we find ourselves turning to time and time again. But there’s a good side to it, too. The psychologist said we feel glad that other people feel comfortable confiding in us. We see that as an active intimacy that brings us closer together.
A close friend miracle baby after years of fertility struggles is actually the neighbor’s. Her husband has no idea, but the kid is starting to look identical to the guy next door.
I almost bumped into my boss’s boss’s boss one day with a woman whom I presumed was his wife. They were standing and kissing outside a venue in the middle of the afternoon, so they weren’t exactly sneaking about. The guy was generally a bit of a Jerk and I didn’t want to spoil my day, so kept out of their way.
A few months later at a work event i was introduced to a different (and lovely) lady as his wife.
Maybe it was all above board, and everyone knew about it, but I doubt it.
I was a newspaper journalist — back when there were newspapers. In a bar once, I bumped into a prominent local real estate developer. We started chatting, had a few (more) drinks.
He tells me about his yacht, which he sails around the world. He particularly likes Thailand.
Oh, why?
Because life is cheap there. You can get a girl — young, never been touched before — and do anything you want for $50, maybe $100 if she’s really young.
I finished my drink and got the hell out. Never told anybody about it. Figured he’d deny it, say the paper’s out to get him.
EDIT: Lots of accusatory comments asking why I didn’t report him.
First, this happened 35 years ago, when I was in my mid 20s. I was stunned, never having heard human trafficking. The awareness campaigns of the past several years are doing their job.
Second, report to whom? American law enforcement has no jurisdiction in Thailand. To the person who mentioned Googling a Thai tipline: This was in the 80s. Very few people were online.
Third, my word against his. I was a reporter in a small city making $25,000, who’d be accusing a multimillionaire of godawfulness. Who’s winning that conflict?
To the person who said I should’ve recorded his admission: I didn’t have my cassette recorder on me, not anticipating the need in a bar. Again, this was 20 years before smartphones existed outside of sci-fi.
Fourth, I have no idea whether the guy is still alive. He was in his late 50s then, so he’d be in his 90s now. I haven’t been back to that city since moving on a little after.
Finally, I have to admit some moral failure. I should have found a way to bring his activities to light. I accept that now. Then, it was easier to shake my head and go on.
A decade ago I worked in a team of about 20 people. After friday afternoon drinks, on my way home, I saw the assistent manager and the new intern drive up to a hotel parking lot together.
The assistent manager was approx. 10-12 years older, married and had kids, and the intern had just finished her school and moved into a new house with her boyfriend.
I worked there for another 2 years and during that time this went on and on. Both still in relationships.
I’d met his wife several times during company parties, but I couldn’t stomach destroying her world by telling this.
They are still married, kids are teenagers now.
I have a friend who has an adult child that doesn’t belong to her husband. It’s so obvious too, he has dark hair and brown eyes, the child is pale, red head and bright blue eyes. Mom also has dark hair and eyes. Her first cousin has bright red hair and blue eyes. I know they were doing the deed during that time as I caught them in a car at a bowling alley and was making fun of them for it. lol We were both 18 at the time so i was certainly mocking her and then the pregnancy test was positive. First words out of her mouth was oh, gotta find a man to blame this on… cue meeting a guy at that same bowling alley a few weeks later and boom, she had an instant baby daddy. Still together 25 yrs later. Crazy stuff. Surely this dude must know by now, his biological kids look very different. She just tells him that the oldest looks like her cousin, because she does, she is his cousins. Bonkers.
My high school’s vice principle (think that’s her role now?) sleeps with students. The signs were there, you could see how she spoke to some of the male students compared to others. My school hired a videographer for the prom and when my folks watched the DVD they pointed out the way she was dancing around and her eyes were scouting the male students. Found out a few years after high school from a few guys that confirmed they slept with her, one was 15 at the time.
My sister’s husband is a fake veteran. He does the whole stolen valor thing to get free meals and discounts. Claims he was “medically discharged”. But my uncle has a nephew on his side of his family that works for homeland security. AND! My uncle on my mom’s side works trains military police. Both have multiple connections and through some secret side snooping they both uncovered that my sister’s husband, in fact, was not medically discharged but kicked out of basic training for consuming substances on base. He never saw combat, never went over seas, never even left the state he was training in. I’ve been keeping this for a rainy day when I need to use it.
I saw a video of a huge celeb that only a small handful of people have seen that would have possibly ruined their career. Maybe not today with how crazy things are, maybe they could apologize for it. But it was like 2001 and it would have definitely hurt them bad. I just moved to LA and my roommate at the time worked for WB and his friend was an exec there. So the exec friend was out partying with the celeb and he took a video on his flip phone of the person acting insane and saying a bunch of racist stuff. It looked like the morning after a binge and it looked like it was the back alleys behind the Roxy or those sunset clubs. So anyway he showed my roommate in his office, then stepped out for a minute and my roommate stole a copy of the video on a thumb drive that he always carried with him lol. And we were all broke in a lousy apartment so I was like MAAN WE HAVE GOT TO SELL THIS TO THE TABLOIDS THIS IS INSANE!! And he was like yea but then my friend will know I stole it. So we just watched it a few times and that was it.
I know a lot about behind the corruption of a large bank, multiple people involved and how they are cheating the system and also technically the customers – I plan on whistleblowing everything when I quit.
Also aware of a friend who cheats on his wife and they have a son, I live in a different city so we aren’t super close, I’ve told him off before but he suffers from wandering eye syndrome. Poor woman, she’s a beautiful kind and intellectual, definitely deserves more.
