>> keeping things verbal is one of the "standard" techniques of defending against that

That's all fine and dandy, but what is 'weapons grade stupid' is to not only have the conversation in email, but then to use a key word like 'paper trail' to lead any investigation straight to his conversation. And in that exact email, say WHY he wants it done in-person. I mean, 'paper trail' has to be up there with 'take this offline' and 'this is sooo illegal' for phrases that serve up incriminating evidence on a silver platter to the DOJ.

A non-WGS response would have been, "Come up to my office: we'll discuss further."

Indeed. My wife works for a legal discovery company, and this is exactly the sort of thing that plaintiff's attorneys hope to discover when they requests vast troves of corporate documents.
