Continuing Saga: Zion Step Father allegedly received $400,000 payment

Court filings indicate that Zion's Steph Father (and Zion) received a payment of $400,000.  All of this stems from an agent who claims Zion didn't complete his end of a deal.  The agent is suing for 100 million.  The claim seems to hinge on the basis that Zion was never eligible to play for Duke and as part of this claim, evidence is being presented showing he was receiving payments.  Zion broke the contract by using North Carolina law which protects student athletes.  The agency counter sued saying they coordinated the payment of 400k to Zion's step father which would make Zion ineligible to begin with, and as such, not protected by North Carolina Law. Zion's lawyers have claimed the payment claim is frivolous and fraudulent.

This brings upon a moral dilemma:  if one has a strong belief, but putting into practice said strong belief one has to lie or support those who are lying.
