People have funny beliefs sometimes and sometimes they're dicks about it. Like I only want to back someone that is an entrepreneur and entrepreneurs only act this way.

I had a friend apply at my former work place. He was a brilliant programmer and a millionaire. He wanted a job to get immigration. So he said he would work for the minimum required to get immigration. My boss at the time was insulted that someone would offered to work for cheap. He didn't hire him and went on to ridicule the guy, assuming he would have been a bad hire. Little did he know the guys priorities were different due to money he had made offshore.

I'd say that is what is happening here. Some people can work with folks like that. I wasted to much time with those sorts. I'd rather not personally.
