I was no longer useful to them in that new direction so we mutually parted."

The previous employer was a bank, I turned them in for mortgage fraud so they made up an excuse to fire me because I got two senior VPs fired, one of them arrested and instigated an investigation by regulators. I took it to court, won and got them to commit provable perjury. Awesome, yes...but there is no way in hell I'm ever telling any future employer that, especially since I also sent my previous supervisor (in a retail chain) to prison for grand larceny.

I've had a history of working for some bad people; all I want to is to be a communications associate for an NPO, can't get anybody to call me on my resume despite years of high-level volunteer positions in that role and more training than most people working in that field.
