It goes to the government, where they go ahead and waste it...I mean, they put it into pork barrel projects...I mean, they put it to good use somehow.

Hmmm, sounds job specific. What context do you normally hear it in?\n\n\nProbably something to do with liabilities or expenditures...\n\ni.e. List of expendatures, Liabilities ans expenses, log of expendatures....something like that. I'm not sure though

If the contract shows in writing that he is buying it for 2.4M and the appraisal show the same, messing with legalities with the sellers and their not wanting the full amount mentioned.....it is a messy legal problem.  If it is in writing for 2.4 then 2.4 it will be, not 1.3M, who cares?  Not the bank, not the buyer if the seller is willing to sell for 1.3M.  Then 1.3M should be on the contract not 2.4M   You can't put anything on paper where it shows over and above what both the buyer and seller are going to want to settle for.  It sounds real messy to me. Could have some problems down the road if anything goes wrong.  Who knows WHAT might go wrong but there is nearly 1M at stake here!  I'd try hard to not fudge with the paperwork it could fall back on you too!  And who is this "buddy" to say what he should or shouldn't do when there is a million dollars at stake.  I'm sure if the buddy was in his shoes he'd be wary too.  Check it all out OK?  Don't jump into anything, it seems everyone is wheeling and dealing "off the books" and that is crazy-a million dollars difference? I wouldn't get involved even if it might mean a nice commission.  Are you working for yourself or a Real Estate company.  Will the Real Estate Company want this type of activity going on in all the paperwork? I doubt it, sorry.

Some may be oughtright frauds where no such stock exists.  Some may be frauds wherein a licensed broker wants you to invest with him and it's all a big boiler room scam.  Some may be actual listed companies that are not following SEC rules on truthfully reporting their finances.  \n\nBut all are attempts to get you to part with your money.

Do you really want legal answers from someone who had to read your definition of a corporation and defendants?  You're just asking for bad advice.

They passed the Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002. (Also called SOX) It requires a lot more paperwork & indepthness. It's purpose is to protect shareholders and increased accuracy on financial statements. The problem that still remains is "crooked" accountants that help these corporations cover up thier illegal activities.

If there was a lawsuit won against the company for damages then the liablity is "Limited" to the assets of the company, not the assets of the owners of that company, that is the main difference, there are also different regulations regarding the reporting of accounts etc.

Hi, that looks ok to me. Bit of a dry subject though!\n\nOnly change I might suggest is that you change the sentence that starts "Besides,..." to "Also, a client wishing to borrow Swiss francs will have to sign......". That would read a bit easier.\n\nI dread to think what you need that for...

It should read 'NSF' which is non sufficient funds meaning you don't have the money to cover the transaction. That's all I can come up with.

There are a lot of variables, but unless they violated the terms of the trust they cannot be held liable.  Also, making reasonable investments (which turn out to fail) doesn't rise to violating investment terms.

How could you say they ignore it?  Which other company would you have used?  They pay their fines, they are a big company and no doubt have a few crooks on board that need to be weeded out.  Are you suggesting no other entity (business) that could get the job done wouldn't do the same thing?
