Similar thing happened to a friend of mine who worked at a game development startup. A company was set up for that game, and the whole crew of developers were hired by it, while the two "founders" held the parent company. Everyone worked for low-to-no wages under the promise that they would see bonuses based on sales.

When the game released, all the sales revenue went to the parent company and the only ones receiving bonuses were the two founders.

Well they certainly got the the expected value of "promises".
