I think I had this conversation word-for-word with one company. I told the CEO my salary demand and he could pay me in cash or in stock at the previous valuation (which had happened a week earlier, so I knew the price and that they had cash). He just kept blowing smoke at me. I decided I couldn't work for someone who lied to me (or, perhaps, believed his own BS?).
