Loyalty in business

[Xeno]

I have to agree....it really depends on where to draw the line. It's great to be able to help someone, especially when its a stranger as well, but you have to "ALWAYS" (as my parents say) "if you ever have conflicting feelings on whether to do something or not, go with the not".

If you feel that this person just doesn't have it in them to run this kind of business, perhaps the right thing is not to help out on this one. Perhaps not providing the help to this person is actually helping them in the end. I'd be totally open and honest with them....and it appears that coming here for the thoughts of others is a way to assure yourself that you really cannot do this because it almost sounds like its borderline risky on your part. I am sure this person would respect your honest thoughts and want to listen (or I am hoping so) and as long as they know you can perhaps help in other ways that won't jeopardize your way of life (as Surfn) said.
