I can imagine a conversation like this: CC: I just raise 13M, I am hiring you as our lawyer. Lawyer: Confirmed CC: How much can I legally pay myself as CEO? Lawyer: Literally all the money. CC: Here is your check for $350k. Lawyer: Always satisfying to do a good job for a client. (CC has already left, moments later you see the CEO drive by the window in a huge boat)
