More than a dozen former employees of Rob Roche, a Canadian businessman with a controversial past, say they are owed thousands in wages. He says he was only paid for one of the two months he worked, and is owed $3,000 to $4,000. Li said he kept pressing Roche for payment, only to be put off with excuses about paperwork and banking snafus. Toronto businessman Rob Roche earned the nickname 'The Liquidator' for his practice of acquiring struggling companies and shutting them down. But over the past three decades, he has also left behind a trail of debt and unpaid wages.
