My half-sister inherited a restaurant from her mom. The restaurant used to be profitable. It was located between a truck stop and a motel and offered "home-cooked food from Mom's kitchen".
A string of fast-food restaurants has opened up since Sis took over the place, wrecking her business. She is desperate, and her boy friend has brought her in touch with a guy who says he can get her "road kill and other meat you don't know what it died of" but he guarantees nobody will know, nobody will get sick. Boy friend says he can get her untaxed beer and wine, I don't know how for sure although I've heard him in the past talk of a racket where you buy 1/2 your stock from legitimate channels and mix it with identical untaxed stuff "for export".
Should Sis go along with boyfriend and guy, or should she just close up shop? She had promised her mom she'd carry on. I already nixed one proposed solution which was to hire illegal aliens off the books. That leaves a paper trail or, rather, lack of.
