I had a spear phishing attempt by someone pretending to be representing the Saudi royal family. Was initially tipped off by the fact that a Saudi wealth fund looking at our company would be like a lion stalking a gnat.

Beats my disappearing Chinese investor story. This was from years ago and also an acquaintance.
Company raised a bit angel party round that included several M from a Chinese investor. After series A company is sold and the angels are above water.
All attempts to find and contact this investor failed. Name may have been fake. Business entity may not have existed in China or elsewhere.
Last I heard money was put into escrow for a few years and then would be equally distributed to other investors (shares would cease to exist) but I’m not positive what happened.
