Imagine that meeting. You run a bug bounty program. When you set it up you talked with a bunch of lawyers and they wrote the language saying that you can't run afoul of sanctions. But you'd like an exception so you shoot an email to the lawyer for your organization. "Hey Alice, I'd like some legal advice. I know the law says we can't pay companies in Russia but could we like, you know, set up a shell company that we can route some money through?"
