First National Bank, a U.S. bank, is contacted by Manufacturing Company, Inc., a U.S. company, to finance its transaction with Country Z, a boycotting country. Payment will be made through a letter of credit in favor of Manufacturing Company at its U.S. address. First National Bank knows that the letter of credit will contain restrictive boycott conditions that would prevent the bank from implementing it. First National Bank suggests to Manufacturing Company, Inc., that it set up a shell corporation in Country Y, a nonboycotting country, and have the shell corporation be the beneficiary of the letter of credit. Does First National Bank have any problem with this transaction?
