Reminds me of stories about salespeople compensation in the book "The difference between God and Larry Ellison (God does not believe he is Larry Ellison)". Oracle salespeople received commissions before customers had paid, and many of them made additional "side" contracts with customers that let them cancel the deal, but were not considered (or known) for the purpose of calculating the commission.
