Comments needed on a business idea...

Hello all,

I am not sure if this is the right place to raise this query, as I am new here. So, apologies in advance. Please have a look at this little story of Mr. X who is thinking about making some money:


“Mr. X works in a VoIP company named ABC. The ABC Company works as simply a clearing house. It takes VoIP calls traffic from customer companies and forwards it to suppliers, with the difference of rates being their profit. Mr. X tries to search anonymously for some new customer companies, finds one named the DEF Company, contacts them, and personally offers them a route (say Ghana) at a rate little higher than the rate of the ABC Company. Then, he makes his friend Mr. Y (outsider, unknown to the ABC Company) to contact the ABC Company and buy their Ghana route.
When the deal at both ends is finalized, Mr. Y gives the target IP (the IP of ABC Company) to the DEF Company. And gives the origination IPs (the DEF Company IP from where Ghana traffic will originate) to the ABC Company.
In this way, he started earning some money without any investment due to the difference of rates.”


Please tell me if this story seems realistic / unrealistic to you. I mean, is it possible to implement what Mr. X is thinking?
Please mention if there are any flaws in it.
I desperately need your advises and comments.


Thank you.

Why would Mr.X wish to jeapordise his (pressumably paid) employment, go against his employment contract and give his employer a reason to dismiss him immediately? (As an employer - I would).

Why would Mr.X not just tell his employer he has a new client for them and ask for a small bonus or commission on the new sales volume?

Mr.X has no opportunity to make or receive payments direct from clients without detection of his supidity, greed and totally unprofessional conduct.

Ifind it interesting how someone can consider defrauding their employer as a business idea.......
