What if he pays taxes on it for 2007, then in 2008, Barry Bonds signs it, the pope kisses it, and it's value therefore increases $100K ? Would he then have to pay taxes on $100K ?
What if he "loses" it ?

I work for this company, and a customer bought a good ammount of product. He is from TX by the way. He sent in a check to make payment in full for the product. but asked us to hold the check for a few days because he needed to make a deposit in his account. When the day came, the check never cleared because there was a Stop Payment from Client. This is what should be considered fraud right? What should my boss do in this matter since this is a small company and we never had this kind of problems before?

How do I ask what their looking for, or why they don't think I'm right for the job?
