It could have been Costa Rica for all the viewer knows. It also isn't specifically stated as Mexico, just a country where the locals speak spanish.Everyone's attitude toward him was along the lines of, "Oh ignore him and he'll go away." So when it came time to figure out what happened, if anyone had suggested, "What about Milton?" the response would've been, "What about who?" ![]() Sure, he wasn't hiding his 'threats' to burn the place down, but that's because nobody was listening. Finally, unless Milton is phenomenally good at covering his tracks, an investigation (which I'm pretty sure is compulsory in these cases) would most likely have revealed that the fire was set deliberately. Plus, it's remarked upon more than once that he doesn't seem entirely stable. How does no suspicion fall on Milton following the immolation of the Initech offices? He's never been particularly concerned about keeping his mumblings to himself, so surely someone should have thought that the guy who's constantly talking about committing arson might warrant some investigation? We never even see him brought in for questioning, and given that he's last seen in Mexico, a country with which the US has an extradition treaty, simply fleeing across the border wouldn't have helped him.(Companies often like to cut checks on Thursday or Friday.) The only real reason it would have been tied up for a ridiculous amount of time would be: if there was suspicion of fraud, if there was doubt as to liability, if Tom didn't want to settle for the amount they offered him and chose to pursue a court case instead, or if for some reason there was a truly stupid amount of money involved (as in "it's going to affect the entire company's profit reports for the fiscal year" amounts). An adjuster would have interviewed the other party, interviewed Tom, gone over the medical records, suggested a figure to the company, the company would have gone to Tom with that figure or a similar one and said "You can sign this waiver that says you won't sue and get this amount", and if Tom liked the figure he would probably get his money by the next Monday. the majority of insurance claims, even potentially large ones, are just handled fairly quickly to get them over with, especially if Tom's injuries were confirmed by reputable medical professionals (as they would have been if he had to go to the hospital). This is actually much more common than movies and media make it seem. Whatever entity was liable for Tom's injuries may have elected to settle with him immediately before there was ever a court case. You may be confusing a settlement with money awarded by a court.Also note it was Drew the office idiot that tells them the story, so maybe the situation wasn't exactly as he says. It's never actually said that he had already received the money, it's just implied the money is incoming and a sure thing.How does Tom manage to gain a seven-figure settlement in only a few days following his accident? In real life the case would be tied up for months or years.Then the only way for anyone to find Michael's code would be to examine the processes on the mainframe itself, find the one that shouldn't be there, then dissect it to find Michael's skimming code. However, it's likely that deploying code to the mainframe is automated, and it has a monitor to detect any unauthorized processes running on the system Samir is likely the one who can get Michael's code loaded and keep it from being flagged as an unauthorized process. From a software architecture standpoint, Michael's code probably runs as an independent process separate from the actual Initech credit union software - that way it's not part of the credit union code base and would not appear in reviews by any Initech developers.So what did they need Samir for? Peter's whole reason for including him in the scam was that he knew the software better than Michael (or Peter himself) did if that wasn't the issue, what was?.Maybe an intentional misstatement, perhaps it was he simply didn't have the access privileges to the computer network to do so? This seems more plausible since Peter did it himself - After getting his promotion, and corporations like that would more than likely have such access controls in place, however the average Joe probably wouldn't understand access controls so perhaps they 'dumbed it down' a bit by saying he didn't know how.If Michael doesn't know the credit union software well enough to install the virus that he wrote, how the hell does he know it well enough to write a virus for it in the first place?.
