Well, for the past several…

The movie is told about the story of Andy Dufresne, a banker who is sent to Shawshank State Penitentiary because of the murder of his murder of his wife. Andy claims that he was innocent. I find that the movie is similar to the situation that I have facing in the question. In the movie, Andy is forced by Samuel Norton who is the warden of the prison to launder the dirty money…
