No joke, I once met a guy like this in an indie game developers meetup, and on top of that he was extremely vague about his idea because he told everyone he once managed to get a coder on board and "that rat wanted to take advantage of him and his idea", literally.

I had a guy whose pitch was "Ok, you're the president."

That was the game idea. The whole thing.
