You were in the wrong and he was in the right, not sure why you are questioning it. You were stealing clients and therefore money from your employer. Had you exceeded $500 and they had any sort of HR they could probably sue you for a felony and completely tarnish your future. Far from snitching, he did the right thing and what he had to. If you want to run your own business fine, if you want to be a thief and steal for a living you should be put in jail. The law is very simple as well, if you know of a crime you are guilty of being an accomplice if you don't report it. And typically being and accomplice and being the felon have nearly the same penalty. I find it rather immature that you think he shouldn't of done it since it would have protected you.
