Tas Sinadinos worked for the Australian EDI Rail Pty Ltd and was being relocated to Sydney. Relocation to a strange city can be very unsettling and, at times, lonely, so you can understand that a guy might need to 'buy in' something for those long, lonely evenings.

Sinadinos chose to purchase company from escort agencies, which he charged to EDI via his corporate American Express Card. Together with liquor, his personal expenses came to $12,000. And Sinadinos claims this as a tax deductible expense.

EDI have sacked Sinadinos, so he has taken them to court, claiming unfair dismissal. He says that he can't see any difference between buying escort services and buying a rack on which to put food for his apartment. Well, I suppose that all depends on what he does with (or to) his escorts. If he puts food on them, no wonder the bill was so expensive, I mean, that would come under 'special requirements' surely.
