I don't know how it is now; but, when I was working with Mitsubishi in the 80s, Face was still very important in business. The value of Face to the culture is so embedded that they expect others to believe the same. The idea of grifting is so foreign to their society that it makes them vulnerable targets. Do you know anything about bankruptcy laws in Japan? I had no coins there but I know some who did. Do they divide up any assets to pay off debtors?
