Double-dipping with a second cookie in a single day. Is that bad?
What would you do? Also if your spouse didn't know about your criminal history, would you tell him/her?
A very very long time ago, when you were young and stupid, you and an accomplice attempted a very bad crime (e.g. stole drugs from a pharmacy and trafficked them to a drug cartel). It was only mildly successful, and fortunately you and your accomplice were never caught by the police.
Fast forward twenty years later. Through sheer luck of life, you landed a great job. You are married, rich (legally), and about to have kids. However, one day out of nowhere, your former criminal accomplice shows up at your front door and wants some of your pie. Apparently, fate hasn't been as good to them and now they're homeless on the streets. Since the two of are such good criminal buddies (sarcasm), your accomplice insists that they want you to buy them a house and pay them a boat load of money so they can be out of your face for the next 20 years.
Of course, your response is hell no.
However, then your accomplice threatens to go to the police and confess about that crime the two of you were a part of a long time ago — and then send your little cute paradise crashing down. Your accomplice explains that they have very little to lose. In contrast, you have everything to lose (e.g. your current job, your spouse, family). However, if you pay up, the accomplice promises to leave you alone.
You respond that you need some time to think about it.
A thought flows through your head. Since you are still familiar with the criminal underworld, you know some very affordable assassins that you could hire. Since your former accomplice is homeless, it would be extremely easy to fake their death (e.g. drug overdose). Of course, it would cost several thousand dollars, but you're rich so...
