Hawaii or jail, what is the difference?

Dear Real Estate Ethicist, I overheard my broker telling a title company representative, "The business will come your way when I am sitting with my family on the beach in Maui and not paying the tab."

I don't want to work for someone who is doing something unethical or worse, illegal. –Ethically Challenged Dear Challenged, It sounds like your boss is willing to break the law, if indeed he is willing to take a bribe in exchange for steering title business to one firm. If he acts on his remark to the title rep., he could be breaking state and federal laws and find himself in jail. As for you, consider blowing the whistle on your boss.
