Attоrney Yvette wаs representing Williаm in the sаle оf an expensive parcel оf real property. William informed Attorney Yvette that the proceeds would be transferred into a bank account in a foreign jurisdiction known for its bank secrecy laws. Based on that disclosure and other circumstances surrounding the transaction, Attorney Yvette suspected that William intended to violate tax or money-laundering laws. When Attorney Yvette questioned William, he answered evasively and refused to provide any specific information to allay Attorney Yvette's concerns. Reasonably believing, although not knowing, that the transaction would involve a crime, Attorney Yvette refused to assist in the transaction any further. As a result, William was unable to close the sale as scheduled, and the buyer later withdrew from the deal.Is Attorney Yvette subject to discipline?
