Hollyweird is one of the homes of creative bookkeeping. The Whitehouse being the biggest followed by Wall street.
Never take a share of the profits in a Hollywood contract.
Even if this company went bankrupt, check to see if a company it contracted with is hugely profitable. For example, did this company spend a huge amount of money on computer equipment leases or office rental and the equipment lessor or office landlords just happen to be owned by many of the same people.
