Your friend offers you an opportunity to make a great deal of money very quickly. He has arranged to set up an off-shore account for your profits. He will not tell you exactly how he is making this money, but you get the impression it is not exactly legal. He only wants an investment of $500 and promises you will have enough from your minimal investment that you will never need to work again. Do you:
Give him the $500, deciding if you don’t know how he is making it, you’re in the clear?
Demand to know the details before getting involved?
Decide you want no part of this deal, as you trust your instinct that the offer is shady and you might even get in legal trouble?
