One day, to Cal's deep dismay, he hears that Harry has been implicated in some financial irregularities at work. The issues, while serious, leave some room for doubt. There is reason to think Harry got ensnared by regulations, though he may have tried to cover up that entanglement afterwards by being less than forthright. Yet, after what Cal observes to be a careful audit and investigation, Harry is let go from his job. Harry comes to Cal and asks for a letter of recommendation. What should Cal do? What are the consequences of the options?
