Moral Hazard evidence

Cameron is performing a research project on whale migration at Pacific Ocean. To assist with this research she hires a Ph.D. from the MIT to make computer software to organize data, paying the software genius $150,000 for his services. The Ph.D. assures Cameron that the software is succeeding nicely and the research group will be much satisfied with the Cameron’s final presentation. When time comes for the Cameron to present the software to her supporters, the computer software is less than what the computer brilliance promised as he has been working on the other projects, and financial support for research melts gone. This is most obviously evidence of: (i) Symmetric information. (ii) Moral hazard. (iii) Adverse selection. (iv) Consumer fraud. (v) Confidence scam.
