It sounds to me like this guy just wants to be a consultant. Uncle Sam must love him, because instead of taking in 3x W2 incomes he could be contracting out to each company with a much more favorable tax situation, and have everything above board. In fact thousands of consultants do exactly that and many make a lot more than 300k a year. The only difference here is he is doing consulting in as shitty and unsustainable way as possible, will likely burn bridges when the employers find out, will never be able to take a vacation or relax, and is almost certainly working way more than 40 hours a week. Not really my idea of a good time.
