Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff claimed US$3,000 from defendants for his participation in an HIV/AIDS documentary film "Pain in My Heart", alleging a verbal agreement with the second defendant who represented the first defendant. The defendants denied any such agreement and alternatively argued illegality due to foreign currency transaction without exchange control authority.
