Matyas is trading a few moments of false glory here and there. What he's selling is his own global image. I may never matter in his life again. (Though, it's completely possible that I do. There's a certain US college student that, if he encounters me at all when he job-seeks in the finance world, will be in for a world of hurt.) There will be people who matter to him, down his path of life that will be affected by this debacle. And he could have chosen to have this play out a different way, but he hasn't. I'm not the one who pays for this in the future. We are ultimately responsible for the choices we make, and how they affect us.

are you still talking about matyas there? perhaps i missed something.

Matyas is neither a United States citizen nor a college student. Unless something strange happened in the last couple of months.

That means you might matter to me.

Did he ever confess about cheating? The article I read said he never confessed. Also, when can he enter competitions again?

It is completely possible that a decade later, Matyas is applying for a job and his employer will do a Google search on him. Information on the internet can live forever. A possible employer will happen upon his post, and may come to the conclusion that he is dishonest and doesn't take responsibility for his actions.

I'm pretty sure this is illegal, atleast in the USA. But most employers do it anyway. Well I'm only 16 but I've heard my dad talk about this several times and he used to be a cop so. . . . somebody correct me if I'm wrong but please provide a link or quote from a national or state law.

Illegal? That's stupid. So you are not allowed to get to know what a person is like before you decide whether to hire or not?

It is not illegal because the information is public.

Shouldn't you be able to tell from the application and interview?

I don't know. I've never been interviewed before.

I'll never be as fast as Matyas in cubing. I'll never be faster than him at any sized cube, sighted or blindfolded. But the cube is only a facet of life. And overall in the game of life, I'm sure I'm doing much better.

And respect can't come from just one thing. I respect the people in the cubing community that I do because they are talented, yes, but they are, I believe, good people with integrity and humility. Matyas shows neither of these traits.

 

[Hadley4000]

Wow, Tyson. You're actually using the words Matyas and cheating together? I thought the W.C.A. wouldn't allow that

 

[hawkmp4]

Could be any Matyas
I found that to be one of the dumbest things ever, frankly. Everyone knew who it was. The thread in this forum about the initial accusations was in Google's cache for a while, don't know if it still is. (And the whole thread got copied to other sites that I believe are still up) Everyone who kept up with cubing could easily find out if they looked at Matyas' results page. And its not like he committed a crime (legally, at least) so there wasn't any law requiring the witholding of his name.

no you can lie on an application and during interviews. and since this was nothing illegal it wouldnt show up in a background check. its just like checking references and stuff like that. and like someone already said, the information is public domain, and anyone can access it legally.

But if its a job thats gunna go through all the trouble to background check him and look on the internet. Then he probably wouldn't be stupid enough to lie on the application. I've never heard of McDonald's background checking and spending their time on Google looking up somebody who is just gonna flip burgers haha. But he may be stupid enough after all, he did cheat
