There was a documentary about the guy who invented the Diesel engine on the other night. When he gave his patent application to his patent attorney, the attorney didn't understand it, so he essentially rewrote it, taking random bits from other patents, so the patent was meaningless. He still got rich, but was sued later on, and ended up broke. Apparently he committing suicide, and was found floating in a river in France...the police got some identifying things off the body and tossed it back in the river.
