>As for illegal: What if your customer requests that you write the code in a way that obviously is allowing the customer to embezzle money from the company. That would be illegal in the US and Germany. Would you do it?

I will have a new contact in that company very soon.
I know what data I process even if it is unspoken, I know the value. Money out of the company. Peanuts. I have a reputation and I'm to proud for such action. And not because it's illegal, to make that clear. This is out of my own moral.
