A not so good feeling story

I have a not so good feeling story to tell.

There was three men who set up a firm.
The firm is starting to earn money since it established.
This firm received a letter from Government mention than their firm have some problem and may need to change something.
So the firm will be loss money if they change the situation.

So one of the partner hide this letter. He sell his share to one of the partner at quite huge monney. More than Twenty thousand dollars.

When the other two partner received the second letter than he really felt NOT so good to this previous partner.

So will you do like that if you get that letter?

I ask my nephew and he mention he will negotiate with others partner to recover this critical condition.
