Not Everything Suits You

However, that’s not true if you make it suit you.

Do you see the young man in front of the building? His name is Miguel. He’s a law school graduate. He also has a world-class education in global finance. Unassuming, right?

When he arrived in America, his parents were running from the Cartel. The three of them were illegal until they weren’t. After the death of his parents, he found out his father had reportedly stolen money from the Cartel twenty years before his death.

After graduation, he returned to California and met with the family’s attorney and estate executor. I found out that he received:

A video for his eyes only, the 10,000+ sq. ft. home he grew up in, a black Rolls Royce, and over $20,000,000.

Law firms on both coasts were interested in him. He met with all of them. At each interview, he became more aware of what was between the lines of their offers. Finally, he realized that was the key.

In college, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department, a New York drug lord, and Interpol all approached him several times (Did I mention he’s fluent in Spanish and Russian?). However, everyone that’s met him knows his moral compass only works about half the time. He already wants what suits him.

The issue is, How much control over him does he want to give up? We know that one morning he flew off in a private jet. What was the offer he accepted? What do you think?

It’s rumored that when Miguel’s flight reached altitude, he smiled.
