    I was once asked to submit fraudulent timesheets by a client as well. I refused as there was no guarantee they would be paid.
    The fact they are signed is no help either as that is then a conspiracy to defraud.

    Don't do it.

      Agreed. It just takes that manager to go on leave, off sick, be sacked and the whole arrangement comes crashing down.

                  My boss is OK with 10% extra on account of "someone has to be here to keep an eye on this whole mess".
                  oh well, it's better than a kick in the pants.

                      10% of not much, is still not much

                      So your story is .... you are amazing, was running the project like a god. But management decided to bring in a (woman) PM and everything (in your opinion) went to crock. You decide you wouldn't stay for any price as it's a pile of poo and you don't want to be associated with the project. Unless the woman is kicked out. You then claim your boss () wants you to stay and take over and save the project..... but the PM is staying and still running it. And all this for a 10% extra that I'm guessing still keeps you cheaper than your boss could have paid a new contractor.

                      Hope this sums it all up

                      Can you see now why it sounds full of bull tulip?
