Malajit Chandramouli moved to a Camarilla vampire

Hi. Could someone please clarify this? An independent vampire (say, Veejay Vinod) employs Malajit Chandramouli. Then, he's moved to a Camarilla vampire (e.g., Anneke). Malajit may tap to give +1 stealth to his new Camarilla employer? Malajit Chandramouli Retainer Requires a non-Camarilla vampire. Unique mortal with 1 life. Malajit's employer may tap him to get +1 stealth for the current action. If that action is blocked, burn Malajit.

It is even worse in my opinion since it states "Malajit's employer" which would refer to the vampire recruiting the malajit C, right?

Yes he can give +1 stealth to whatever minion he is on, only restriction is that he can only be played initially by a non-camarilla vampire, but any minion who he is on can use him once in play. 'employer' refers to whichever minion the retainer is on at the moment.

But by 'Malajit's employer', it refers to who is employing then, not who originally employed him.

I see. Thanks.

"Malajit's employer", "Employer" and "This minion" would be synonyms here. The original employer doesn't matter. Prince of Paris, France Ratings Coordinator, Rules Director

The later use of "vampire with this retainer" prevents an ally getting the +2 bleed when Robert Carter is stolen or transferred to it somehow. (Or a Kiasyd using the Grandest Trick, say.) Of course, when it got to an untap phase and Robert was still on an ally, it'd burn because the ally had no blood to burn.
