Comment on Engineer admits he wiped 456 Cisco WebEx VMs from AWS after leavingparent

I can’t recall the deal with h1bs, but green card applications require that you haven’t committed any acts of moral turpitude, which would easily include this.

All work visas have a no criminal charges rule, so if this is a criminal case I believe being found guilty puts him in the area of instant visa revocation

Criminal vs. civil, afaik the former is gov. vs. ____. Moral terpiude, deployed a project to GCP and it deleted VMs—not my idea of a moral failure. Generally I’d not fire people for honest mistakes no matter the cost. You have to pay it anyway, and now the person has hopefully learned and probably feels honored to work hard to be better.

It’s not a matter of firing - it’s the us gov terminating the visa, which honestly in this case seems reasonable
