2015-16 Was a subcontractor for a US startup which acquired another startup. We had to document the old code base and reduce the cost of operations. Worked for over 7 months. Then the founder decided it was not worth it. He fired all the remaining tech staff(acquired startup) and people who managed us. When followed up for pending invoices, we got a email with threatening tone, that they are investigating all the contracts signed up and payments for fraud. So not getting paid also happens in many cases. In another case in 2008 a Bay Area startup got bankrupt and systems engineers brought the racks and expensive chairs from office, and they were doing yard sale
