Short Case Study
A long-time customer approaches you for financing for a new business venture. The
customer offers as collateral a piece of property it has purchased in a rural location for the
purpose of building a housing development. You send an appraiser to the property and he
accidentally discovers that this property holds toxic waste. You’re sure this customer is
unaware of the waste; in fact, the waste is migrating and in a few years will invade the
water table under a nearby farmer’s fields. You explain the situation to your manager,
who naturally instructs you to refuse to accept the property as collateral, but he also
forbids you to mention the toxic waste to the customer. “Let them find out about it
themselves,” he says.
