When you realize that your bet friend has betrayed you in business for couple of thousand dollars do you think it is worth fighting with him for that money ? Always you trusted him and that is your mistake. But is it possible to fight with a person who shared good times with you who shouldered you when you needed some one to support you in your difficulties. After all it is couple of thousand dollars and that money can not over ride an age old friendship. May be it was inevitable for him and did not have the courage to face you after that. I strongly feel that I should not raise this issue, though the evidences are against him and my action could end his future in this company. Some times I feel that I trusted him and he could have confessed with me. Today he has put me in such a scenario where in I have not been able to decide anything. I gave him a couple of hints to make it clear that we have evidences against him so that it is better he confess to save his carrier but in vain.He still refuses to admit and this could ruin his future completely. Do not know what to do

This is a hard decision, and one that you are going to have to decide for yourself. If this person has betrayed you in business, and harmed the company in the process, then he will most likely do it again. Trust is a very valuable commodity, and once betrayed can never be fully regained. You say it is only money, and that is partly true. It is also a matter of ethics, betrayed trust and friendship. If he does not make it right then who will ? If he is discovered, what happens to you if it is also discovered that you knew what he did and said nothing ? Has he risked more than just his future and your friendship...has he also put your future at risk ? If he has, then what kind of a friend is he ? Those are things that need to be addressed, and the questions that you need to ask yourself. The decision is yours, and I do not envy the position you are in. Good luck.

Right. I am so confused to take this decision. A single word of mine can put him out of this company and may also make him to face a trial !. I can for go that money but what hurts me more is his attitude. He has not done this earlier and I know he is not a person with that habit. It is a very sensitive decision for me. Thanks for the response Cheers!!
