I don't know; do you want to be the first?

Maxie would have to ride in a real airplane just to get his private. Forget
about CFI.

FSDO routinely question CFIs regarding people they have signed off who
subsequently screwed up. If they find something amiss, they ain't gonna be
too happy. They can't easily pull the ratings of a CFI for the actions
pilot, but if they find deficient paperwork(which must be retained for 3
years by the CFI) they most certainly can. CFIs can also be sued by the
family members of the deceased, and yes these things do happen.
