The murder happened way back in 2019 for those that didn't read TFA.

The jeet CEO also looks so fucking smug.

Confusion over who would kidnap the successful tech executive and cannabis entrepreneur turned to fear after he was found dead hours later on one of his cannabis properties — having sustained stab wounds and a fatal gunshot wound to the back of the head.

Both men had worked for Atre in August of 2019 on one of his cannabis properties — doing mostly manual labor putting up fence posts and planting. Investigators interviewed both men in December 2019, two months after Atre's murder and learned they'd only worked for him for less than two weeks. But in that short period of time there was a lot of animosity. Lindsay and Charters apparently lost a set of Atre's car keys, and then they learned he had stopped payment on their paychecks.

The keys were found and Atre eventually did pay Lindsay and Charters for their work, though only partially.

TFA is pretty short and still seems to leave out a lot of details.

This sounds like less of a tech CEO shitting on tech workers. And more like a rich jeet asshole trying to fuck with contractors on his cannabis sidehustle. As is their way.

"Does this story of Tushar humiliating Stephen Lindsay and Kaleb Charters point to motive?" Tracy Smith asked her.

"Yes," replied Fulginiti. "Definitely."

She says the fact that both men were in the U.S. Army Reserve might also play into lingering resentment.

"When you look at the Army Reserve, right, and you look at the Army or any of the military operations, I mean, they're taught respect," says Fulginiti. "And here he is feeding into that disrespect … and mistreatment."

The humiliations being 1) making them do pushups in front of other employees, and 2) withholding paychecks, as the screenshot says.

I could see how that would lead to murder doing that to the wrong person tbh. Blue collar guys go ballistic with even the slightest problems with pay. Add to that the perception that the CEO thinks less of them than a bug, a little mental instability, and this could happen.
