Alyssa has been asked to testify in a criminal case, in which her boss is accused of defrauding some investors. Alyssa is neither accused nor suspected of any criminal activity, she is just a witness. But she knows that her testimony will expose the fact that she broke some contracts with those investors, and while that is not a crime, she is afraid they will sue her for breach of contract if they learn what she did.

Is her fear of that lawsuit an adequate basis for asserting her Fifth Amendment privileges and refusing to testify?

Yes, because she is testifying in a criminal case

Yes, because it is the government prosecuting her boss
