Huh, same thing happened to me the other day. It takes a long time to climb out from under a rock. You would not believe how flat your stomach gets with rocks like that though.

what if it was legal where you lived and he had enough money to pay you up front?

 

 

"A brother asked Abba Poemen, "If I see my brother sin, is it right to say

nothing about it?" The old man replied, "whenever we cover our brother's sin,
God will cover ours; whenever we tell people about our brother's guilt, God
will do the same about ours.":

 

"A brother in Scetis committed a fault. A council was called to which abba
Moses was invited, but he refused to go to it. Then the priest sent someone to
him, saying, "Come, for everyone is waiting for you". So he got up and went.
He took a leaking jug and filled it with water and carried it with him. The
others came out to meet him and said, " what is this, father?" The old man
said to them, "My sins run out behind me, and I do not see them, and today I
am coming to judge the errors of another." When they heard that, they said no
more to the brother but forgave him."

"A brother sinned and the priest ordered him to go out of the church; abba
Bessarion got up and went out with him, saying, "I, too, am a sinner." (Sayings of the Desert Fathers)

 

TL;DR, no.
