Tell your friend to tread carefully with requests like this.
My yearly "Business Conduct Training" (required by my employer) explicitly lists things like this as against company policy, a fireable offence, not to mention potentially illegal (circumventing embargoes, trade restrictions or sanctions).

- balls187 4y agoYes, apologies and thanks for asking for clarification. It's slang for Federal Prison, but for white collar crimes (less austere accommodations).
- smugma 4y agoIt's a play on Club Med (which is more of a European thing, Med being short for Mediterranean, and here Fed short for Federal, as in Federal crime/prison). I had never heard the term before today, but did appreciate its cleverness.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoAmericans have extra rules to follow, so they simply can't do work like this and they are done by other companies who are either not subject to such rules, or exist in countries that won't enforce those rules.

It was Emirates blocking Israel (side note: this seems to have changed recently). So, as long as you cover yourself with Emirates, you can execute that trade and not get hung up. If, however, Israel were the one embargoing the export, you would get yourself in really deep shit.
