[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here looking for more feedback, since this is only partially hypothetical...[/quote]

How can you be looking for more feedback, if there are so few details to parse? For me this is totally fact dependent. Some of the parameters don't make sense... etc etc ...[/quote]

OP again. It doesn’t make airtight sense because it's just a cartoon sketch. But I challenge that behavior here is "totally dependent" on omitted detail. Yes, real life has gray areas, not just primary colors. But in my experience the missing detail just makes a +/- 1 on the decision scale or is fodder for justifying larger shifts - specifically, actions we take that we'd not tolerate from others. Because of this and that ... turn the tables and suddenly "this and that" aren't so motivating anymore. Ya know?[/quote]

For me the details do matter because why do I have to give them money to this person? If it's random luck that I'm getting it, I lean towards B or C honestly. I would add if I have a fiduciary duty to that person or they are a business partner.

Now I thinking the scenario is I have a business partner who is about to divest. That explains the weekly meeting to discuss finances. And I have some big deal in the pipeline that will make me a lot of money, which will be all mine if I wait until my partner is out. Then I tend to think the right thing to do is tell him the truth and give him his cut. But then again. Maybe not. It depends. If I did all the work and put everything together on this deal, maybe I think I'm entitled to all my money, but then again I don't want my partner and others to think I'm shady. But maybe I have been having problems with the partner because he's not pulling his weight and I DGAF as long as my lawyer assures me I'm clear to do the deal after he divests... [/quote]
