An acquaintance now asks him to endorse someone publicly, describing that person as useful to everybody. Dario hears a suggestion that refusal will be remembered. We do not know whether the requester has criminal connections, what Dario knows or what possibilities he has. This fictional situation distinguishes assistance, influence and coercion; it establishes neither guilt, a safe way to refuse nor eligibility for protection."
