All of my following comments are based on the assumption that archer's story is true. I don't know anything about him, but I've seen him post plenty and he seems straight (har!) to me.

For everyone who's saying "It's not his fault! It was his designer!", etc, take your brain for a walk and come back and read the story again.

Just ask yourself a simple question: if this shit happened to you and you were told to fuck off and then threatened by someone who KNOWINGLY employed a thief and a scammer, would you put any more money in his hands? Not unless you're about six shades of stupid. He's not trustworthy, period.

When you allow things like that to go on in your business, it reflects on you and that's just the way it is. If you know that someone who is working for you is a thief and a liar and you continue to let him work for you, you're also a thief and a liar. If you own a gas station and you find out that one of your cashiers is stealing shit out of people's cars, you sack the fucker (unless you are benefiting from it or just don't care about your customers. See: not trustworthy, above).

Now, the owner of the company wouldn't owe archer any money because he just put archer and the designer together. He wasn't really involved. However, as owner of the company and being as the designer worked for him, the boss man has a minimum responsibility to try to at least lean on the employee to make things right or get the jackass out of his company. Unless, of course, he just doesn't give a fuck. See: untrustworthy above.
