That's the short version. The long version can be found in a newspaper article on the subject on (gasp) TOB. Kiri, for those without access to that board, please post a link to the article here.

There may be more to the story.........but when you are working for a company and you leave the country without letting them in on your plans.............what happens next shouldn't be too surprising. I know people who telecommute from various places in Mexico and let their employers in on exactly what they planned before they made the move.....approval all around, so no problems.

You can work at home in Mexico at various occupations, even if you are self-employed, but you need a a"working" visa.

Even though this guy was reckless to do what he did, I feel the employer who kept him on long enough for the big deal to go through should be responsible for some compensation.

Thanks, Kiri.........I missed that the link was there on the first reading.

Gringal, I can only find stuff about starting a biz or teaching English. Is there something more?

Yes, do a search on" Rollybrook and working in Mexico." It goes into details about getting a working FM3, etc. which would include working for an employer outside Mexico.
