Ask HN: Do you have a software consultant / outsourcing horror story?

I'll start:

My friend's first startup took a dive after spending $80,000 to work with a local development company. It turned out the development firm was just a front to outsource all of the work overseas and take a big cut.

Long story short, 5 months later he ended up with no app, no money, and a lawsuit that he couldn't much afford.

Has anyone else had an experience like this?
