Some people just don't care where the money comes from, and just want to put together the best deal.

If a US investor offers you $50m for 10% of your company, and a Saudi investor offers you $100m for 10% of your company -- which one would you take?

What if the US investor is Harvey Weinstein and you've just found out he's a terrible person? Are you obligated to go find other investors at (presumably) worse terms and buy him out?

What if Al Capone offers you 200m for 10%?
