Number 1 already happened. Out of control comm satellite in Geosynchronous orbit.

Number 2 look up the orbital express darpa project. It was accused by a retired Russian general of being the cause the iridium crash a few years back.

You will never do this job to his satisfaction, even if you do it right. His paranoia will turn to not trusting your work and that you might be in on "it".

Make your life easier. Do not do business with him.

Don't forget to use checksums for bit rot detection.

Good thing the new health care setup will get rid of this playing with prices. Oh, wait...

Not just $50, that is the immediate cost. Don't forget the $200 increase in your mandatory auto insurance for the next 3 years.
