Meanwhile, Jenny took advantage of Scott's mistaken belief and trust and convinced him that he would reduce the company's tax liability by 50% in exchange for a substantive number of shares in the company. Is Scott's donation of a substantive number of the company's shares to Jenny valid? Why or why not? 4. Nio is very much interested in buying Jasper's business, but Jasper is not open to the idea of selling his business.

Out of fear, Jasper sold his business to Nio. What should Jasper do to get back the business? What should be the basis of his remedy?
