Businesses that make $180MM profit in 9 months from a $10MM investment:

- Terrorism

- Ransoming the children of a business tycoon

- A web 2.0 youtube-like social network mashup

He wrote $200MM in revenue in 9 months with "minor" loss of $10MM. Imagine his demands if he really projected $180MM in profits! :)
