Bad example.

If you have employees who also act as vendors to you, 
you are putting yourself into a conflict of interest.
If you're the sole owner, hey, that's up to you, but
if you work for a larger company, that's grounds for 
getting yourself and your employee fired.   If the 
employee is paying you kickbacks, I think that may 
even be a felony under rico.
