> This will work if you're paid in the stock of a big company If by "this will work" you mean you will likely have the SEC, IRS, the company's own litigation department, and perhaps the FBI filing various civl and criminal charges against you, then yes it will work. As "prostoalex" stated earlier, this is insider trading. Even if the person doing it thinks it isn't, it will be up to them and their lawyer to prove otherwise (a.k.a. "the defendant"). And that kind of proof don't come cheap (think $200,000+ USD depending on how pissed off the employer is).
