6.  Two years ago, an attorney represented his client in a sale of the client’s property.  Unbeknownst to the attorney, the client made some fraudulent statements to the buyer about the value of some mineral deposits on the property.  The buyer recently discovered the fraud and is now in the attorney’s office threatening to immediately file a civil fraud suit against both the client and the attorney.  The buyer accuses the attorney of engineering the fraud and helping his client carry it out.  The only way that the attorney can convince the buyer that he had no part in the fraud is to tell the buyer a fact that the client disclosed to him while the attorney was working on the property transaction.  May the attorney disclose the fact without the consent of the client?
