Here is an excellent scam that a lot of the Canadian investment bankers were using within the Ottawa region in 1989 and 1999 for financing Tech companies.

Since it was difficult to evaluate the market value of a tech company, the insiders and bankers determined that for every engineer on staff the person would be worth $1,000,000 net-asset-value.

Therefore, 6 months prior to a financing, the Canadian high tech companies would go through a high tech head hunter and hire a bunch of engineers( the term at that time was referred to as a swarm). They're were stories of engineers working 2 hours a day playing golf the rest of the time and keeping their mouths shut.

Summary
1. the engineers make a good salary and only work 2 to 3 hours a day;
2. the company receives lots of new cash;
3. the investment bankers makes a lot of fees;
4. and the public gets the shaft.

It worked in the US as well but on a more complex and larger scale.
