Not illegal, but I believe it was part of his financial settlement that he was supposed to stay away from anything involving his case, including Ames.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

I know Connie wanted Crews to just take his money and walk away, but I took that as a personal desire, that it wasn't Constance the Lawyer talking.

I think that he mostly wants to hide the fact that he's investigating (and suspects) every single one of them. He doesn't mind violating the terms of the settlement, he doesn't mind being caught violating the terms of the settlement, but the investigation is the most important thing in his life. It would kill him if they made him stop investigating the crime.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Vonnie, I've already been plotting out in my head how it'll go down if and when Dani discovers the wall. I even have a soundtrack.
Hee! Awesome. I sort of liked how it went down in "Trifecta." I doubt we'll have angry sex, but at least she'll kick the shit out of him then will ask, "what can I do?"
but the investigation is the most important thing in his life. It would kill him if they made him stop investigating the crime.
Oh yeah. For all his outward joviality, Charlie has a mental (metaphorical) wall set up the wazoo. He's guarded as hell and there is a level of calculation in every move he makes. And he's using his wall -- the literal Wall of Conspiracy -- as a mental clutch to sustain him, to fuel him, and get him focussed. If he lost that before he could figure it out, he'd fall apart.

More on Constance: as much as her character is bugging me lately, I still adore the actress' voice. It's just gorgeous.

Charlie/Dani (with the added partnership kink), Charlie/Constance (the love that daren't speak its name, etc.) For slash, you have Charlie/Ted
So Chani, Chance (or Chanstance) and Ched?
Too bad he doesn't have friend named Bud...

I CAN HURT YOU WITH MY BRAIN.
OK, not really, but I can totally rat you out to the anti-portmanteaux police! And they're going to come and take you away in the deep of the night to a special hell, where you'd be stuck with a legion of 13-year-old girls wearing bedazzled tube tops and pink Hello Kitty hairbands for ALL OF ETERNITY.

CSI:
What a fucked up weird episode this was. I hated the end. Since when does every single tv show do a voiceover letter to send out a character. "Criminal Minds" also did that this season. Sloppy sloppy shit.

Fucked up, and it didn't make any sense. What a shitty thing for Sara to do.

Not quite in character, was it?
