Don't abbreviate 2020. It's for your own good

29. Couple of things

If you aren’t keeping a copy of documents you’ve signed, then you have a bigger problem.

I can’t really remember the last time that I saw anyone sign a contract without electronically exchanging copies.

In one of the examples above - involving credit or a loan of some kind - it’s going to be pretty obvious when the underlying financial transaction (i.e. the actual exchange of money) took place.

One of the things that your recent hero Michael Avenatti is going to ultimately go to jail for, incidentally, is changing the date on an agreement which one of his clients signed. Again, it was obvious he’d done so, since the actual settlement payment was made to Avenatti’s account while Avenatti was pretending it wasn’t due yet.

Attempts to forge terms in agreements don’t tend to work out well.

Last year, the digits “19” could of course have been altered to any date in the last century, but I don’t recall the same flurry of nonsense.
