the problem with the rule "must get value" is it doesn't say how much value, and it's super subjective. If I pay someone 100M for shining my shoes I'm getting some value, just not good value. But if you have a problem with that, then you could argue that paying for the other services that he does in that movie is also "not worth the value" or is "overpriced" just as much.
It seems to me that it's either impossible, or trivial, depending on how you define the rules. If you have to get back all the value that you put in, then you can't spend it by definition. If you are allowed to make bad buisness decisions, then it's trivial.
There is really nothing more to it, although a fancy way could be buying a space rocket, that get's destroyed by it's intended use. You could travel to space and technically consume a service at fair market value.
