YANML so I shall remain anonymous, and we will agree that what is below is a work of imaginative fiction: I was presented with the temptation to commit the same crime that sent this guy to jail. I made a movie with my brother and dad. We figured, how different could this be from software? (it wasn't really) Things got financially very complex, when more money got spent than we had. (I was not the one that spent it) Things got even more complex when my dad signed a deal with a production company to get us out of the hole (without my brother or I agreeing he could do this) They put in some money to pay invoices, and agreed to pay us ~$300,000 but as I recall being told, when it came to paying the money they wanted invoices for about a million worth of fake spend. according to one of their staff members, they themselves were in the hole after making a movie with an oscar winner who'd who'd spent the whole shoot blitzed on coke. I didn't speak to them ever again after a confrontation on the last day of the shoot. I heard they were shocked when we refused to provide fake invoices, incredulous, that we wouldn't do something they considered film industry normal. (it's common, it's not normal) What happened after that I can only piece together from rumours, which as I understand were: They had assumed that we would provide the invoices and already submitted tax claims for film producer tax incentive payouts. These supporting invoices were requested and they fled the country. Every now and then someone tells me that they recognise me from tv. TLDR: I got no money, but I didn't go to jail
