Whether it is pilfering money or whatever, psychopaths can cause servious damage to your business, causing even business to fold as a result of their activities.

Many psychopaths show no remorse etc etc.

Psychopath was an old term that described a character disorder where a person had no conscience development. Later, when the emphasis was on how environment shaped behavior, the term was changed to sociopath. Now, it is called, "anti-social personality disorder".
