hello i received a 500 dollar computer for a work from home program from a call center company and i was terminated from the program for suspicion of not being able to prove my location. I do remember signing documention that this was company property and was to be returned to the company.
There are no trade secrets or any data on the computer i would imagine as it is only a client that doesnt allow saving information and connects to the company server for operation. I have gotten an email and phone call every week saying to return the equipment for the last 4 weeks.
As soon as I was terminated the employer basically locked the computer so it wasnt able to connect to the internet.
What kind of legal actions could the company take if I decided to not return the computer?
Would the company sue me for destroying computer property or charge me with a felony if i wiped the hard disk and reinstalled windows 7 and returned it to them?
If I did indeed wipe the hard disk and and reinstalled a windows 7 version would it be better to keep the computer and get sued for theft as a misdeamonor or return the computer clean hard disk with windows 7 installed and risk being sued for felony computer damage?
edit update 94.17.2019 Perhaps I thought the company was not going to ask for the computer back so windows 7 may have been installed on it.
Since windows 7 may be installed on it, perhaps the best thing to do perhaps is to say I lost it and pay the price for the equipment to the company

Hello,
I would like to subcontract some jobs i have to other persons. would the IRS audit me if they see that i have like 5 w-2s. Does the irs know how many hours a worker a week or only the salary question mark. would the IRS know that i am working about 115 hours a week with w-2s and if they did would that be suspicious
located in florida
thanks

thank you. lets say i am working as an employee for a company so i would be sending w-2s to my employer and then the employer would send those w-2s to the IRS. evidently, i have thought about what if I subcontract the work i am getting as an employee to independent contractors. is that legal?
my previous employer is in the usa
thats the thing i dont want to return the formatted pc to get sued for something
