A person who served time for bank fraud is the new manager of a Holiday Inn Express in our county, so he now has access to the financial information of all the guests who use credit cards and all the area businesses who provided background information for direct bills. Should this be allowed? Shouldn't the guests have a right to know this and decide if they want to stay there?

Let me clarify that this person used to run a local bank and committed bank fraud over a long period of time with fake loans made out to other innocent people's names in our area. He served 18 months in federal prison and just got out last year. The absentee owners of this hotel know about it and don't care. It's the guests who are exposing their financial information to him that don't know anything about it. That's what many people in the area - and the hotels' employees - are concerned about. If he does it again, they could take the rap.

I do think the guests have a right to know however I think the law says otherwise. The only one who legally has a right to know would be the person who actually hired him. If he did not reveal this info during the hiring process then he has committed fraud and falsified a legal document which is illegal but right up there with cutting the tags off a mattress. I would definately get in contact with someone from Holiday Inns Corporate office and let them know though.

No, I do not think that you should inform those "above" your level of responsibility. This man could have either (a) been a victim of circumstance, (b) made a mistake and never intends to break the law again, (c) had a family and needs to earn a living to support himself and his loved ones.
Let me ask you this - If this man was YOUR father and he needed to earn a living, would you base your dads past on his current performance and fire him for something that happend long ago?
Keep you nose out of other people's business. He may be struggling to earn a living. And amateur private eyes like yourself have skeletons in their closet too.

It depends.. if this person commited the crime 15 years ago.. and is now a model citizen then no.. but if this person just came out of prison... then they need to have some time to prove they are worthy of the trust of some one in that position.. people do change.. but they need to be monitored to make sure that change has taken place.. hope this helps :)

Have you written to the hotel company to voice your complaint. Sometimes convicted felons lie as to what they have done in the past.If by chance his friend or relative was in charge of hiring it is quite possible no one aside from the person who hired him knows what he has done.

no it should not be allowed to have him in a position like that the people who employed him have not done their job of checking his background properly
