Case 2 You have been asked by a small credit union to help investigate an alleged fraud in a bankruptcy case in which it is involved. It wants you to start right away because it is worried that the debtor will destroy evidence vital to the case. The credit union has not received permission from the judge involved in the case to contract you, but it tells you that if you find fraud, there will be no problem with the judge. What should your response to this be

Answer 1

Answer with its Explanation:

Here, there are two case scenario depending upon the payment related to my services. The credit union will either pay through the debtor's estate or will pay independent of court.

Now, if the credit union is willing to pay me out of debtor's estate then the offer must be declined as the court order is mandatory here for investigating any irregularities. Furthermore, the order will also define my role and responsibilities and duties associated with the investigation task.

Now on the other hand, if the credit union is of the opinion that they will pay independent of court then I will accept their offer and will offer my investigation services on my own terms and conditions.
