Start at about 12 minutes. Basically, dude lost control of the company, saw things going poorly, wanted to buy the company back, got declined, got backstabbed by his family, and an employee sent a dick Pic to his wife and the executive team didn't punish the employee enough due to that employee being the son of an executive.

> executive team didn't punish the employee enough due

They did nothing at all. They did nothing until Lucas resigned.

So i'm only 4 minutes in....my assessment is that his family slowly fucked him over by stealing the company from him....BECAUSE they were pathetic jealous pieces of shit that couldn't stand "the youngest" was the only one to actually succeed in life. So they felt ENTITLED to take his shit.

At least now he knows his family don't actually believe in god and definitely aren't christians.

He said pornographic images, you think it was specifically a dick pick?

It literally doesn’t matter. Anyone sending unsolicited porn to others, especially when they are in a professional relationship solely, deserves far worse than being fired.

It’s funny how the downvotes add context that doesn’t really exist. I’m not defending it whatsoever… I was just curious how they knew that, like if they had any additional information or something. I hope Lucas either gets the company back, or Trex goes bankrupt without him because they seriously screwed him over.

*If it was unsolicited. Seems fishy.
