Its not just math but also legal definitions/terms etc that can create traps.

I disagree with you that founders who are not across this deserve to be victims. It is impossible for founders to be across everything and intricate law and finance math is likely to be one of these area's. While a lawyer/business broker etc should be consulted in all of these cases sometimes even your lawyer can let you down and you're none the wiser.

At the end of the day I think that investors who deal in tricks and traps are on the same level of scumbag as the dodgy bankers/Enrons/Madoffs of this world.
