After you collect the $100, the legal system decides that:

You own the corporation that the AI created.
You own the patent that the AI applied for (It looks good at first).
You are obligated to repay the loan that the AI took out (at ridiculous interest).
You are obligated to fulfill your half of the toxic waste disposal contracts that the AI entered into (with severe penalties for nonfulfillment).

Ultimately, though the patent on the toxic waste disposal method looked good, nobody can make it work.
