No, you don't understand me.
Of course there is a free lunch. HedgeFunds do it all the time.
I try it again :

I participate in a financing.
Buying 10 million shares at 0.005 restricted for 3 months.
Current market price is 0.009.
I sell the shares short at e.g. an average of 0.007 at the market.
I borrow the shares for 3 months at a fix cost of $10'000 .

Cost : 10 million x 0.005 = 50'000 + borrowing fee of 10'000 = Total cost of 60'000.--

Proceeds : 10 million x 0.007 = 70'000.--

Calculate in all the transaction fees and you have a locked in profit of about $9'500.-- or about 15% of your investment.
R I S K F R E E !

Risk free because you don't have to cover. In 3 months your restricted shares get free and you return them to the lender of shares that you sold short.

Funds and big investors do this type of financings all the time. As a small company it is not easy to get access to funds. You have to offer a big discount to the one offering cash to you. Some offer a "sweeter" (= options) but this doesn't work with penny stocks.

Understand what I mean ?
