Vera Straight operated an import business. She caught her employee, Louis Lightfingers, stealing goods from a shipment of expensive electronic goods from Japan. After some questioning, she discovered that Lightfingers had been stealing merchandise for six months and that during that time had stolen goods worth about $20 000. Straight told Lightfingers that she would not report the theft to the police if he agreed to work for less money and to return the value of the goods taken. Lightfingers agreed to this. Six months later, however, he quit his job, leaving a substantial amount of the $20 000 unpaid. Straight sued him for breach of contract. Explain the likely outcome of this lawsuit.
