you may get hired, you may not. mind you that the world is round.
Even you are hired, you may not pass the probation as word is going around.
There is silver lining that the hiring manager might give you a chance if you are performing well, however again, there is a risk of the person MIA to leave, so chances to let go is highier

in my opinion, its risky. If I were to encounter this person trying to promote something and I know its that person, I will not source from that person.
unless that person going to be some hawker

ahhhh.. means dont make any income.. ok, that make sense
