You are a junior partner in the tax department at Bobkis and Zilch, a 20-lawyer general practice firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Your brother-inlaw calls you one day to ask if you would be willing to meet with one of his friends, Sasha Aliyev, whom he knows from a powerboat racing event on a lake in Wisconsin. Your brother-in-law explains that Aliyev is a wealthy contractor and real estate investor who is also the cousin of a four-star general in his native country of Kornastan. Kornastan is apparently privatizing undeveloped land by auctioning it off at a fraction of its true value. Aliyev wishes to liquidate his American assets, including his contracting business, in order to raise the capital to bid at the auction. He has already found a buyer for his contracting business and negotiated the essential deal terms. He needs an attorney to represent him in this transaction. Because the land auction is due to be held in two weeks, Aliyev wants the closing on the sale of his business to occur very quickly. He is willing to pay you double your usual hourly rate, in cash, if you can drop what you are doing in order to help him. A little investigation discloses that Kornastan is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet and that it is a hotbed for Islamic radicalism—directed, until now, principally at Russia. You also find that Aliyev is a naturalized American citizen and uncover nothing to indicate concerns about his bona fides other than a recent arrest for driving a boat while impaired. You need the money. Should you take on the matter?
