You mean a 419 scam?
"A 419 scam is an advance-fee fraud, a confidence trick in which the target is persuaded to advance sums of money in the hope of realizing a significantly larger gain. Among the variations on this type of scamare the Nigerian Letter (also called the 419 fraud, Nigerian scam, Nigerian bank scam, or Nigerian money offer), the Spanish Prisoner, the black money scam as well as Russian/Ukrainian scam (also widespread, though far less popular than the former). The so-called Russian and Nigerian scams stand for wholly dissimilar organized-crime traditions; they therefore tend to use altogether different breeds of approaches."

How can a company stop giving you discount?
They have that right to stop giving discounts, unless its a discount store, at that point the prices should already be discounted.
The CEO is ultimately responsible for everything that happens within a company. All employees report, indirectly or directly, to the CEO.
How do you make money in a pyramid scheme?
If I email ten people and ask that they each send me one dollar, I'll receive ten. And I tell them not to worry, because they can forward the email to ten friends who will each send them a dollar. And they don't need to worry because they can each forward it to ten...well, do the math.
Very quickly there are not enough people in the group, and everyone is forwarding the email to everyone else. Or it dies as the majority of people know better. The only person who wins is the person who finds people silly enough to fall for it at the start. (And it's typically arranged so that there is a cut that he always gets anyway.)
This can be done on a mass scale, with a lot of bells and whistles to pretty it up.
Take a nation that wants to provide for it's citizen's retirement, but doesn't want to have to pay for it.
So they withdraw a dollar from each of the workers and give it to the lesser number of retirees. But that's okay, because when those workers retire, they'll take more money from the next generation of workers and give it to them. And that's okay because they'll take from the generation after that...trouble is, it takes more and more people to pay for it, just like the email scheme.
Eventually the number of people who wish money sent to them is more than the number of current workers can afford to send money to. (And if the person running it is spending it on other things, as in the case I'm speaking of they are, then it runs out all the faster.)
In America, this is called "Social Security", and if you ever wondered why the government lets new immigrants in, while raising the age at which you can collect it, that's why. Sure no one actually wants an influx of immigrants, but they can all have their dollars collected and sent to the retired - after the government takes it's cut. And sure no one wants the retirement age to go up, but if it does, they have to pay out for less years than usual, as those to be paid die off before they can collect.

Why intercompany transactions are eliminated?
If you dont' eliminate intercompany transactions it "grosses up" the income statement. So if you sold inventory in an intercomany transaction and then sold it to a third party you would count (most) of the sales revenue twice and (most) fo the COGS twice. By eliminating the transactions only the ultimate sales price and the entire groups COGS are reflected on the P&L. Similar analysis applies to other transactions.

No - I believe Prudential received plan assets sufficient for them to provide estimated retirement benefits to vested plan members. Actuaries probably figured out the expected cash outlay to Prudential and worked back to the $$ needed from Maxus to fund Prudential's future obligation. Back in the mid-90's I received a letter with estimated retirement benefits. Unless you years of service or salary history changes, no change in retirement benefits. Since the plan was closed, no way to change years of service or salary history.
