Wholesaler Asking A GoodFaith Deposit(GFD)

I am buying a property from a wholesaler and he is asking for a $500 Good Faith Deposit. I rather place the Good Faith Deposit in my attorney trust account. Do you generally take GFD's and if so, isn't it fine if it is kept in a trust account?

    'Round here, most wholesalers ask for an earnest money deposit of anywhere from $500.00 to $1,500.00. Some ask more, but this is usually the range. That Good Faith Deposit sounds mighty similar. The wholesalers usually give it to the closing attorney's to put into escrow...
