It appears to me that in a pure market like this, the most wisest strategy is creating a hedge fund with a bounty contract on the head of the CEO. In the event of failure to execute, execution is made, or disbursements of hardware are done. Theft makes for death but giving the CEO a way to back out of a failed business via liquidation of assets and the hedge appears reasonable. IIRC, this is how the Pinkerton's began and how mining contracts were handled, in ye ole west. Auction houses.... etc.
