"Criminal" clients, who'd have them??

Spike

Yesterday I went to contact a client about covering their Xmas party as I've done in the past only to discover their reason for them not answering the phone "Lawyer to football stars investigated over fraud claims"

Will add to the list of the hotel chain & nightclub owner Ali Jalali who at one time was called the next Branson who went spectacularly bankrupt in the early 90's ,

an ad agency owner who attempted to hold up a building society to raise funds to support his business, discovered when his wife found the balaclava & replica gun in a closet, subsequently committed to a mental institution so our court case against him to recover losses was automaticaally stopped.

another Agency owner who murdered his wife & staged it to look like a burglary gone wrong, complete with tearlful press conferences & was caught after the police found the "murder checklist" on his Psion Organiser.

They all seemed alright while I was working with them.(?)

Am I getting more than my fair share of dubious clients????

I suppose you must market heavily at the Tory Party conference each year then? :-)

Maybe I just attract embryo villains, or it could just be a statistical norm that having been around for 30 odd years as well as some very honest clients I'm equally going to get the other end of the moral spectrum.

@Drew T These were all clients who I dealt with on regular basis for periods between 3 - 7 years, having moved house 7 times & studio 5 times they all overlaped location shanges so that won't solve anything.

Hasn't anyone else had client like this?

/denominator?

Photography is at least partly a recommendation/introduction business I think, so could cluster types of clients.

Are the businesses mentioned of a class which is useful to criminals - laundering money or chaffing other activities - or of a sort which drives honest men to crime and madness?
