There was a guy who was hired to pull all the data and setup from the hands of a University of Oregon grant administrator who would not give anyone access to the database system. The grant program was more than $150k per year? more? they had no more then eight students working at any given month, often half that, so four students and the admin for example. The students were paid about $10/hour IIR for up to 30 hours a month? So back of the envelope is that the labor costs were at most $4k per month, but the grant paid more than $10k per month. This went on for years and the sponsoring agency, a County government in California, was having trouble stopping the whole thing.
