[International Expansion] Ryan wants to expand his coffee business into Winland, a small, remote country. He moves to Winland temporarily in order to oversee operations. His friend Terrell asks him if he plans to hire legal counsel for the expansion. Ryan replies, "Of course not. The U.S. has the strictest laws regarding contracts, employment, and business practices in the world. So long as I'm legal in the U.S., I'm legal anywhere. Besides, I studied up on Winland law ten years ago, and I know it all." Ryan proceeds and lands in jail in Winland for violating recently passed laws which make it a crime to mistreat employees and which criminalized the failure to provide certain benefits. Authorities in Winland claim that he sexually harassed an employee, failed to pay sufficient wages, and failed to give employees Winland's mandated 12 weeks of paid vacation per year.
