maybe the lesson here is not to trade on Skype?

Or out of LBC since escrow protection was just squandered. Are you sure your employee wasn't in on it? Since your company was scammed so easily, you may want to rethink your profession, it was way to easy.
Sorry you got taken but all the classic scammer signs were written all over this deal.

I'm certain it's not the employee, checked everything myself, the employee himself is a reputed and man of position in the company.
It wasn't as easy as it seems, it was an elaborate plot actually, we have a good reputation on localbitcoins and this guy spoke over the phone, and seemed good for it.
Yes, it was a big mistake on our part, but the scam turned out to be more elaborate than we had conceived.
Lesson learned.
