I can't find it, but someone reported spotting an ad for 125 a day which explicitaly stated they would consider someone that needed a work permit.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Just had a quick check of our system for current rates (I mainly place BA/PM's - so checked with my colleagues. Recent Java/C# A/P roles have had rates between £400 and £525 per day.
Tester contracts going for between £350 and £450 per day.
Support stuff around £250 to £325 per day
Worth noting that the majority of these roles were for financial institutions so hiring manager's favoured candidates with financial instruments experience.

Plenty of people will take it though, for the chance to get some IB experience, if they can wing it in the interview with the presumably limited experience they already have.
I'd go for it for three months if I was looking (and knew Java). Might even have tried anyway, and wing the Java - There must be plenty of "interview question" sites one could intensively mug up on for a couple of days before the interview.
