Case: Dylan is the only heir of a wealthy family. Just after receiving his inheritance, he discovers that the fortune originally came from a grandfather who obtained it in illegal and unscrupulous ways - exploiting poor workers, corrupting public officials, savaging the environment. Dylan is troubled about the source of his fortune. The Government Team must defend this proposition: Dylan should give away his fortune to charities.
