What is the price of your ethics?
Would you look the other way for a white collar criminal for $100,000?
Help cover one up for $1,000,000?
Lie about what you know for $10,000,000?

Try walking in those shoes - lifestyles, family, debt, security, greed, stockholders - the smell of crisp bills in large stacks.

I hope I would walk away.

1. The more money offered...
... The more I'm convinced I must do the right thing.

4. How much are you offering?
Just kidding.

Never. No way. No how.

5. Depends on what the guy was doing
If he wasn't paying taxes... what the fuck do I care?
If he was stealing from orphans it's another story.

6. Not for sale
Obviously some people find it very easy to live with themselves doing these things, but I couldn't. It's not in my nature.
