A band-mate that goes awry

A band I'm friends with recently announced devastating news. One of their band member was committing a very unlawful action which made them eliminate one of the most valuable members of their band.

The bond of being in the band for several years is supposedly very deep. A brotherhood no one can destroy. Even when times get rough, the band should stick together like a family. But when one commits a nasty activity, everything will turn into tragedy.

A member of the band I am friends with did a very horrible move. He was caught stealing and deceiving band members. Let me call him Mr. KS for now. He's the keyboardist and at the same time, he plays the Sax, that's why I'd like to call him "KS" for now.

He was the one in charge of the band's funds. He was the 'treasurer'. The one in charge of their earnings as whole and in charge of their social media accounts. He was the one claiming every payment from youtube, Spotify, etc.. He was trusted that hard to be in charged.

What did he do? He didn't tell them the real payment he received from social media accounts, he cut off staffs wage and he manipulated (tricked) everyone. How did he do that? He's the only one who knows fully what how he did it.

When my friends finally discovered it, they confronted him and he confessed. They gathered evidence so there's really no point in denying. Good thing they're still good people that they just removed him in the band and didn't let him go to jail. But who knows what they might be deciding to do next?

What they didn't appreciate is that Mr.KS and his accomplice posted lies to get sympathy for people who don't know the real reason behind his eviction from the band.

You wouldn't guess what really happened unless you know them and until the band officially posted their statement. Everyone was shocked. Mr. KS was one of the favorites. He sings, he plays keyboard, he plays the sax, the compose songs, he's 'good-looking' as what others describe, etc...

Why am I sharing this? I didn't even say what band am I talking to. If you are a fan of their band, maybe you already heard about this. (Especially for Filipinos).

I feel pity for the other band members as much as I pity Mr.KS. Mr. KS just lost a brotherhood he might never have now just because of greed. The band members are good people. They will understand if he needed some money and asked nicely. But to cheat them intentionally just because of greed, man that's f*cked up. He's f*cked up.

I hope the band can get through this trial. I hope Mr.KS learned from this mistake. I hope they can all move on with their lives.. As a friend of this band, I wish every member and their family well for the days to come.

Filipino readers, do you have any idea which Band I am talking with? Comment down below if you have any idea.

Ooh how sad.. I have no idea what band it is or who he is. He losts his brothers by betraying them. They even forgave him but instead of thanking them for being reasonable, he even repay them with lies. He deserved what happened to him. At first i fell pity on him but after what he did the second time, i was annoyed and gets mad .

I got no idea who it is but I'm glad that karma hits him hard. He deserved what he got for now. I feel bad to the rest of the band members who give all the hardships and efforts to make money from their music and one of their bandmates will just do easy work, well, steal it. Man, it's more heartbreaking than a breakup.

i know. although let's say he also did his job well, what he did is really out of line. Even though he's the composer of the band. He should've asked for a raise instead of stealing...

Still bad. He should ask his co-members' permission first. That's negotiable and safe.
