Shadiest/Most Outrageous Thing You've Ever Seen to Win a Deal?

Just a few I've seen/heard through the grapevine. I might change this thread to the RE forum eventually, as I've heard way more tomfoolery goes on their given the lack of SEC/regulatory oversight. 

  • MD flying to Nantucket to hand deliver a client's founding partner discussion materials while he's on vacation
  • Friend in RE told me a broker asked to be paid in pre-paid Visa gift cards to avoid taxes, and his institutional AM firm obliged
  • Same friend told me apparently Rex Industrial used to buy Rolex's for brokers who brought them deals they ended up winning
