Due Diligence Stories That Still Leave Us Baffled

20 real deals. 20 ways buyers almost lost everything.
These aren't hypotheticals. Sellers who faked $1M in EBITDA. Work-in-progress that didn't exist. Three versions of QuickBooks — because one truth was too inconvenient.

We've seen brokers coach sellers to juice revenue before close, then watch it tank post-close. We've caught financials that weren't financials — just forecast models dressed up to make you overpay. Every story is a trap we've already walked through.


What you'll walk away with:

  • 20 real deal stories — the exact lies and near-misses we've encountered

  • The specific diligence rule we created after each one

  • Pattern recognition for the tricks sellers and brokers use to hide risk


Every story in this PDF is a trap we've already walked through.

Now we have diligence rules around each one. And now you won't get tricked. Download now.
