Who Paid Manatt?

Someone should have told Bruce.
Someone should have explained to him that American
firms must report their employment by foreign
nations (or governmental departments of foreign
nations.

Maybe use the term 'spy' so as to make him
get the fact that there is no way to lie it out.

Yeah I know Bruce is a great liar.
I know he's gotten by since short pants days
because he is so good at it.

However, he can't lie this one out.

Manatt claims to have been hired by the Government
of Jamaica and paid by the Government of Jamaica.

Since Bruce claims this is 'a lie' it is being
investigated.
In the United States.
By real people.
Who aren't Jamaicans.

The problem Golding faces is that he thinks the
whole world is Jamaica.

That every agency, every public servant, every
system whether in Washington D.C. or London, is
built on the same principles (or lack thereof)
that apply in Kingston.

He has no comprehension that some people are
actually honest.
Some people actually tell the truth.
Some people don't steal.
Some people are not for sale.

Sure, if Bruce had used some kind of 'local' firm
they'd have been die hard Labourites willing to
sell their children into slavery to please him.

But Manatt is Not a local firm.

There is no money that can drop, no threat that
can be used, no great 'I Am' to terrorise the proles.

Unless someone walked into Manatt with a brown
paper bag full of cash, then they were paid by cheque.

If they accepted a cheque drawn on Harold Brady's
account they are in a great deal of trouble.
Because Governments do NOT pay bills through proxies
unless there is an embargo.

As there is no embargo, (that is Jamaica is not
subject to sanctions so as to employ a middleman)
the cheque MUST have been drawn on a Jamaican
Government Account to prove to Manatt they were
acting on behalf of a Government.

Hence; if Manatt had been so reckless as to accept
money in a brown paper bag, or from a private bank
account, they are going to be put out of business
in America.

Would a major law firm, like Manatt, risk their
existence for $50k US?
(This sum is petty cash at a firm like Manatt).
