It only takes one common situation, right?
They go into debt on the vehicles they lease from the company or from an agent. They were given deliberately incomplete information about how much money they would make, so taking into account all the circumstances, they wind off worse than they would be at a standard, legal job. In other words, "by some process" of deception, they wind up below minimum wage.
