Dollars/receivables in and dollars/deliverables out is just a question of rate, unless I'm missing something.

If a 10 billion dollar company has a per-second dollar out/in rate of $1,000,000 due to actual organic business, a company with $2,000,000 can set up an LLC it buys and sells from, and legally 'swap' $1,000,000 a second back and forth in services "bought and sold" to mimic the appearance of the $10B company, to generate business interest/confidence/investment.

That's an extreme example, but the point is that real-time money flow has nothing to do with the actual 'health' of a company.
