A friend of mine, myself and several other people invested in buying a few percent of a granite company once in Brazil years ago. He put a chunk in it and often went to Brazil. He got arrested for something he didn't know about, they accused the company for being a front for running drugs and cleaning money. He paid a lawyer 30K to get out, simply a split between lawyer and probably the judge. I long sold what little I had in it, he stuck with it for several years, now is rich off it.
