The employee / contractor thing may be a violation of IRS regulations (depends on a lot of factors). Lying to obtain a contract, and lying about who is doing the work and who has access to any sensitive materials related to the work is straight up fraud, so I wouldn’t want to get into a legal pissing match over it.

Fraud would require a contract saying X is doing the work, which is controlling what will be done and how it will be done which means they would be classified as an employee.
