Ask to "borrow" the business for a year. Sell it. When it fails, buy it back at a discount, pocket the difference, and return it to the original owner.

could this actually be done legally/practically with a privately owned company?
i'd imagine when you "lend" your company you're also "lending" all rights to control it which would make it stupid to lend out a company you're trying to run, but i imagine it could at least theoretically be done with a portion of the company?

Theoretically, maybe, but I was kidding.
