Not to say I condone this but...
Yes, you can. What you do in essense if sign an employment agreement with a
company that says you work for them for a set amount for a set time, but you
never have to do any actual work. This company in return can use your number
to possible obtain their Silver or Gold reseller status and therefor derive
deeper Cisco discounts.
Getting these deeper discounts can mean a tremendous amount of additional
profit. For instance, the total sales required for Silver Partner is
$4,000,000 US. Silver Partners get approximately 10% deeper discounts on
their merchandise that others. Assuming the same sales price, the additional
profit is $400,000 US. MOre often that not though, the sales price is also
reduced while keeping a higher margin.
>From this scenario, if a Premier Partner has the required sales but not the
second CCIE required to become a Silver Partner, they may be interested in a
"purchasing" a CCIE.

Subject: OFF TOPIC - Hiring your CCIE
Hi All,
Sorry to go off topic, but I have heard many rumours that you can 'hire'
your CCIE number to companies in the US, without even doing any work for
them. Obviously this relates to discounts that these companies get with
number of CCIEs.
Is there any truth to these rumours?
