I tried getting them to send the money to me and I'd make sure "it gets to the right parties" but I can't lie with a straight face, even via email.

Can I just send the money to you? I'm not sure about the process but you seem to know the ins and outs.

My intermediary charges start at $100,000.00US, in advance.
