<prompt> Human: Father is retiring soon as a restaurant manager, he has no savings to speak of and plans on living off of 1,200 a month in Social Security.Hes Chinese and was recently introduced to a new Chinese immigrant that one of his friends grew up with. He claims to have been a banker in China and flew here with his pregnant wife to give birth to a child for the U.S. citizenship. Kid is now born and they bought a house cash here, his plan is to open a restaurant chain franchise location funded by wealthy friends in China to qualify for an investor visa invest 500k in the U.S. and hell be eligible for a green card after about two years.Anyway, he wants my father to teach him how to run a restaurant since he has 25 years of experience. They told me he would just be an employee and not have to put any money up or sign any contracts or notes. So I didnt say anything, none of my business, I figure.Come today, I find out the Chinese investors backing this thing want him to be the sole designated franchisee and sign the franchise agreements and leases and so forth. In exchange, they will pay him 100,000 in cash, on top of the salary they promise to pay him and the 10 percent interest in the venture.I told him under no circumstances is he to do this, that theyre playing him for a sucker as the fall guy if the business fails. Theyll disappear, only being out their initial investment, while he is on the hook for untold hundreds of thousands of dollars. I told him the only way he can do this is to just be an employee with no skin on the line. What do you think?  <response>: Sounds like you did right. I dont think anybody gets that kind of opportunity for nothing. Plus your fathers experience is a negative in the world he would be in.
