I was reading my story tonight and someone gave Murdock a pack of gum and Murdock said: "You get it from Face? I stopped getting gum from him. It was too expensive.” (This was in Vietnam while they were there before Hanoi.)
And I laughed out loud. I never clarified what Murdock had to pay or even if it was with money. But the thought of Face charging even Murdock for something struck me as pretty funny. I mean, we always assume that Face always just provides for the team. Maybe there was a time where he wasn't as generous. Or maybe he even charges them now.

He probably puts things into the expense account and takes money out from what the clients pay to cover those things as "business expenses." Wonder if he tries to file tax returns and claim those things on there? I think there is something on US tax returns that makes it sound like if you are earning income in an illegal way, you are still supposed to report it on your tax returns. I always wonder if anyone actually does. Okay, I found the following link which covers some of the tax laws for illegally earned income: taxfoundation.org/blog/irs-guidance-thieves-drug-dealers-and-corrupt-officials/ |

We learn Face does the investing, both in good and bad ways, so it wouldn't surprise me of his entrepreneurial background in Vietnam. I can see his black market being better than the PX on most things. I can see an expense account too for business transactions. I can also see Face taking a larger cut as the expense wizard on the team.  |

Maybe he charges some kind of "management fee." And makes investments without first consulting the rest of the team.
