    Yeah it’s a scam. They’ll claim they lost all the money that went into making the movie because no one would buy it for the price they wanted. If they’d sold it for the highest offer, they’d have lost less.

    How is that any different than burning down my own building and claiming it as a loss in my taxes?

      No, you put your building up for sale at an absurd amount, then when nobody is willing to pay you what you want for it, then you burn it down!

      Totally different and completely sane.
