I don't understand your logic, and your statement isn't true. Fraud doesn’t require someone to be "tricked into giving something for nothing." Courts have long recognized that it’s also fraud when one party induces anoth

You never get someone to pay a large application fee without some kind of reasonable prospect of getting an exclusive right. Else, if company A pays a $100k fee, company B has an incentive to give the worker $90,000 more to jump ship. And
