The more successful the team, the more the sponsors have to pay the team. It's possible to insure against this, which Jordan's pal did.
After a successful season a claim was made. But a F1 fan at the underwriter couldn't recall seeing this sponsor having any advertising on the car.
This was confirmed and the claim denied. It was also noted that a company with a £2 million turnover couldn't sponsor a F1 team for £12 million.
At the time I recall the F1 correspondent of the Times making enquiries and believe he wrote it up: would have been in the early/mid-Nineties.

What are you on about?
There was no logo, the company only existed on paper, it was insurance fraud.
