I recall a few years ago a guy from my hometown scammed some major industry bigwigs with a scheme for ultra high speed (read fiber optic speeds) data transfer over ordinary telephone wire. We're talking Cisco kind of industry bigwigs.
He lived rather well for half a dozen years on research grants., pocketing a couple million in investment capital.
