You never went to Puerto Rico . An employee saw you at Target at Desert Ridge during your "trip." You had no intention whatsoever of 

returning to work at GPS Insight. 

You gave your incendiary notice the same day your "very generous" and "much appreciated" last bonus was paid out.

Thank you Rob. Very generous and, as always, much appreciated ! Looking forward to the second half and doing even better. 

You started work at a new job for Blackboard on 7/31 , during the timeframe "it was [your] understanding at that point in time [you] were still 

employed by the company." 

Your offer letter and our separation policy state that unused vacation and sick time is not paid out upon voluntary separation. Frankly, this is 

because we are so typically generous and lax about metering PTO and have never refused someone's time off. We don't want to pay it twice 

should someone quit. And frankly, rarely does anyone with more than a couple years' tenure quit. You are the second to leave GPS Insight 

for another employer in 3 years. 

with GP insight ha elapsed. Suppl emental insurance is al ·o avail able through Atl ac. You will be eligible for 2 

weeks of paid vacation and Spaid sick days per year, which will b _prorated monthly, beginnin~ th the first full 

mo11th of your employment. Vacation and sick days are not paid for if unused or upon rnluntary separation. 8 major 

holiday are paid days off, and a few others are half-days. There is a pro fit sharing program whi ch you will be 

eligible for in 20 I 6. A 401-K i avail able after your fir t year with the company, and includes a 4% (for 5% 

emp loyee contribution) company match. There are many event emp loyees are welcome to attend as GPS Insight 

ha a box at the Phoenix Open, 2 boxe at U Airways Center, ea on tickets at Chase Field, Ak Chin Pavillion, 

Comerica Theater Gammage as we ll as events such as a group Spring Training game Coyotes game, group 

dinners, etc. 

I very reasonably consider the act of starting a new job while still in our employ to meet the definition of "voluntary separation," and as such, 

you were not paid past 7/31/2017. 

You seem very insistent that GPS Insight "[doesn't] do the right thing." This is unquestionably the right thing to do in this case. 

When employees abandon their job, purport to give notice via a disingenuous and combative email after being afforded a last minute week 

and a half vacation, and then resign on the day their bonus is paid out, I draw a line. 

Had you simply told us the truth, that you were moving on , and given a REAL 2 weeks' notice so we could ACTUALLY transition your 

responsibilities, I would have been appreciative of your professionalism. 

Instead I am disappointed but not surprised that you would do something so blatantly wrong for what might amount to a couple thousand 

dollars in your pocket and to make some final statement. This tarnishes your professional reputation and is petty. It truly amazes me that 

GPSI 00108082 
you are indignant about this and that you believe that we are in the wrong here. 

From your resignation letter: "I cannot morally bring myself to believe that appearances are more important than the truth." 

It is ironic to revisit that statement now that you clearly have placed such emphasis on false appearances in complete contrast to the truth. 

Your self-righteous and self-serving emails fall flat when your obvious lies and fraudulent efforts to cheat us out of a few dollars are brought to 

light. It's ok, Robert. You can keep the $18.24. Please. 

Good luck.

Hi Wayne, 

As is the customary courtesy, I put in my two weeks' notice on Friday, August 4th. It was my understanding that at that point in 

time, I was still employed by the company. However, I was asked not to return after sending my letter of resignation. I'm fully 

aware that GPS Insight is under no obligation to pay me for the two weeks I was willing to work. And it's clear that despite my 

good faith effort to transition my responsibilities, even in light of my personal disagreements with leadership, the courtesy will 

not be returned in the form of compensation for that time or for unused vacation. Considering how volatile the situation got and 

the lack of proper communication to you, it's pretty clear I shouldn't expect the company to "do the right thing," so to speak. 

Regardless, it was my understanding that my date of separation was August 4th, not July 31st. I will forward you the timestamped email momentarily that indicates this. Please note that there was an accidental personal charge on the company credit 

card in March that I had overlooked repaying in the amount of $18.24 for Uber Eats. Please withhold that amount plus whatever 

necessary interest from any final compensation disbursement. I don't want to be in Rob's debt by any stretch of the measure. 

On a personal note, Wayne, I'm very sorry it came to this. I really enjoyed working with you (mostly because I enjoyed beating 

you in fantasy baseball hahaha) and Justin, and the rest of your team. I wish egos never got in the way of the good thing we all 

had for a while. Take care.

Subject: Robert Dennis - Resignation 

With a heavy heart and after much consternation during my time away from GPS Insight, I have realized that I can no longer continue my 

tenure of employment with the company. It's a difficult decision as I have grown close to many people in the organization and I truly value the 

opportunity I was given to help the company grow. I've weighed this with every ounce I'm able to and ultimately, I do not want my career to be 

measured by my perceived loyalties or my continued friendships with past employees. For this it's for the best for us to part ways. Please 

consider this my two-weeks' notice. 

To provide you with some context on how I came to this decision please consider the following advice that Rob recently gave me: "It's not 

good enough to just be innocent. You have to loo k innocent. And sometimes it's better to look innocent than to be innocent." And it's this that I 

have the most trouble in moral ly reconci ling. There wi ll always be a cloud of doubt over me. I will never fully look innocent at GPS Insight, 

especially when I do not agree with, and have voiced my opinion on, how things were ultimately handled with regard to Kristin and Jeremy. 

This is not my attempt to defend them. This is simply my explanation of why I have come to this decision. I cannot morally bring myself to 

believe that appearances are more important than the truth. 

Since Jeremy and Kristin were terminated, there has been tremendous effort among the leadership of the company to justify their il legal 

termination, despite their previous contributions continuing to pay dividends to the current bottom line. It's difficult to learn about the many 

new toys acquired from their previous efforts, especially when contrasted against the supposed nickel and dimes of wasted printer paper. It's 

very difficult to watch history being revised, often through poor attempts at humor, or disparaging remarks, to ease each other's conscience 

and continue to self-preserve. It's even more difficult to hear the justification that it was a business decision when there are much 

easier business decisions to make about more obvious sub-standard employees. But since those employees are perceived to be loyal, they'll 

get a pass. Since those employees don't push for change , they'll get a pass. I simply cannot be a part of that culture any longer. 

As I was imparted with some advice about appearances, allow me to provide my own: The emperor has no clothes.

Over the past year (approximately 1m:mary 2016 to Febmaey 2017). the listed offender used an issued company credit card to pay 

for personal expeuses totaling approximately $4500. The offeuder was tenninated about 2 mouths ago for unrelated reasons (and no 

pun:basea were made after bis termination). Tiie victim business is GPS Insight at 7201 E Henkel Dr #400. 

On 5-25-17 at approximately 1500 hours. I made telephone contact with (RP) Robert Donat regarding a delayed theft Rport . .. 

I Robert told me tbe following: 

Robert had an employee working for bim for about 4 yea!'s. TI1e employee is (OF) Jeremy TI1acker. wbo was a sales pe!'son. Jeremy 

bad been issued a compa11y credit card to pay for work-related expenses. The first card be was issued was an American Express 

. About 5 months ago. tbe company s"\\'itcbed to a Master Ca1-d called C'omdata. He did not bave 

About 2 montbs ago. Jeremy was tenninated from tbe company. He handed over all of his issued 

company property including the credit card he was issued. i\s Robert· s staff was nwiewing expeuses. lhey noticed about $900 in 

purohases Jeremy bad made. using tlle company credit card. ,vhicll we!'e for personal expenses not allowed to be charged to tbe 

company. Expe11ses included Aniazon ptu-chases, local hotels. flights, etc. Jeremy was co1l:ftouted about tbis and told they would be 

dedt1cting tbe amom1t from his fiual commission check. Jeremy bad a confrontational attitude about this. wbich made Robert decide 

to dig deeper into past expenses. Going back to Ja111.wy of 2016. Robert said they discovered a total of nearly $4500 in expenses 

that were not related to Jeremy's employment. Jeremy has not been confronted with tbe additional discovered pun:hases at tbis time. 

Je11emy bas not used tile company card since bis employment was temwated. 

Robert said that Jeremy was allowed to use the company c!'edit ca!'d for expenses related to his job and b:avel associated with his job. 

Many oftbe purchases would initially go mmoticed. as they were tO!' flighta and hotels. etc. However. on close!' examination. some 

of the hotel charges were for local hotels il1 the Phoenix/ Scottsdale area tllat would not have been authorized. Robert said he would 

be able to provide a list of charges to police tbat were not work-related expeuses. 

About 2 years ago. Jeremy had bee11 caught doing something similar. II1 that instance, be had charged around $3000 il:1 personal 

expenses to the company card. Jeremy was allowed to remain employed and signed at1 agreement to pay back tbe money, which be 

did. The company never liad any ·written agreement signed about tbe use of the company credit cards, but Robert said it was a verbal 

and moral m1derstanding. 

Robert said he would later provide Jeremy's il1formation including last knovm address. phone munber. email. etc. I later received 

tbis email and JereJDy's mfon11atio11 was updated n1 iLeads. I later received statemeuts from American Express at1d Co111data from 

Robert. but the charges were not marked or separated m any way that would indicate wbich expenses were work related and which 

were persm1al. Tbere was ai1 attached spreadsheet whicb listed tbe 11011-work related expeuses made on the cards. I attacbed tile 

emailed statements as well as tbe spread sheet (saved in PDF fmmat) to this report. 

Robert said the company will aid in prosecution. I mailed victim· s rights.

Det. LeFay 781 

At this time, the status of this case is as follows: 

I obtained the prior documentation from the GPS Insight controller, reflecting 2015 when Jeremy first stole funds from the company 

by personal use on his issued business credit card. I have attached that documentation. 

I have attached email commmrication from Robert Donat On June 20, 2017, Robert states in his email to me that Jeremy was due a 

final comnrission check Robert expressed that $4,500.00 was deducted from Jeremy's final check To my knowledge, the total 

financial loss reported on tlris present case was $4,499.84. 

I have spoke with Robert to confirm tl1at $4,500.00 vvas indeed withheld from Jeremy's paycheck This is accurate. I confirmed with 

Robert that he does not have any further financial loss that the $4,500.00, wlrich is also correct 

Based on this infonnation, I explained to Robert eAiensively about the difficulty in moving forward crinrinally. Once a victim has 

been completely reimbursed of their financial loss, criminal charges of theft are challenging to prosecute. Robert said he 

understood. 

I eA'Plained that I would not be investigating tlris any further, due to tlris information. Robert said he also understood that, and if he 

found any other financial loss attributed to Jeremy's employment, he would let me know. 

I have attached several documents/infonnation that Robert has provided as part of this investigation.
