Advantage play / cheating / crime....where is the line?

I think when Nestor thought it through he objected to getting only half the cash but being on the hook for taxes for twice that amount.

I imagine Kane would have been happy with half of the net after taxes. I would say Nestor was just ungrateful for the opportunity and screwed Kane. This is why it is so hard to perform equitable partnerships in AP.

It seems so pointlessly greedy to tax your partner when you have such a valuable play. Just stay out of each others hair while you make as much money as you can.

Not to mention that it doubles the legal risk for Kane because if Nestor gets prosecuted first Kane is going to be his (allegedly) criminal coconspirator for taking a share of Nestor's profits.
