Which of these categories do you think is the most-frequently-abducted category? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/1914))_ (Follow-up poll in the blurred spoiler section) I was frequently told, as a kid, that adult men are actually, in fact, the most-frequently-abducted category. Do you believe that statistic to actually be true? (I personally find it a bit dubious and perhaps hinging on what exactly the definition of ‘abduction’ is.) _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/1914))_ ---

Legal hypothetical: You are the best federal defense attorney in America, able to get almost all of your clients acquitted of most charges. One day, the phone rings. An oddly-familiar voice is on the other end of the line. Someone is greasily begging for legal representation. _“The feds have indicted me on charges of keeping classified documents in my luxury resort in Florida…so unfair…what about Hillary’s emails…no other lawyers are willing to represent me…”_ You tell him, “You have a reputation for stiffing your lawyers, not following their advice, trying to get them to do illegal stuff, and also have a yuuuge horde of fanatical followers known for violence, so I have yuuuge qualms about helping you, to put it mildly.” After half an hour of haggling, you manage to get him to agree to a flat-fee payment up front - no retainer, only flat-fee - and also that you reserve the right to drop him as a client should he ever refuse to follow your advice, or try to get you to do anything illegal or unethical. “The flat-fee needs to be **yuuuuge** ,” you tell him. After some more haggling, he agrees that you will get paid $4.5 million no matter the outcome, but there will also be a $4.5 million yuuuge additional bonus if you get him acquitted, as well, since 45 is a number of special significance for him. He agrees, signs the contract, wires the initial yuuuge $4.5 million payment over, and it confirms and clears. Do you accept him as your client and defend him to the best of your ability in federal court? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/1925))_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642.md?page=95) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642.md?page=97)
