Other than that, one of the worst I've knocked down uncovered a lack of assignment of IP (an early rich-media MUA) from a contractor that effectively meant the candidate company had zero value. "Who's Bob Smith of Bob Smith, Inc.? Can I talk to him about this shitty code? Oh, he owns it..." What happens in that case? Does the acquisition stop in its tracks, or does the company try to contact Bob Smith and buy the rights? |

In the case I mentioned above, we left the candidate site immediately, arranged earlier flights, and flew back to Seattle. There may have been exec communication but I was just the technical DD guy at the time. But I never heard from them again.
Had the code been stellar, we may have given them time to sort it out so that the package was clean.
