I once made a multi-level marketing scheme website. For an acquaintance who wanted to launch one. Realized halfway through it wasn't a good idea and returned back with excuses about not having enough time. The acquaintance gave up on the idea as well so nothing came out of it thankfully.
What was interesting was that - it was a very fun problem to model on the DB side, especially with the kind of constraints around payouts and it kind of sucked me into saying yes.

Took me a couple of questions to realize he was fishing for lottery / scratch ticket optimization methods. Learned the next year that he was arrested over the summer. Never did actually answer more than just basic stat course questions.
