There is nothing going on that isnt business as usual for keeping parties’ hands

There is nothing going on that isnt business as usual for keeping parties’ hands clean. Paying someone for an NDA for many purposes, one in this case that as far as I know isn’t illegal, is just again, how we handle such matters in our legal and justice system. Now, you’re probably just naive and ignorant, but this kind of tedium is a daily occurrence everywhere, so that private matters are kept private, and corporate matters kept insulated from private matters.
