I heard about him completely screwing up his life, but I didn't pay attention to the details. I have a soft heart when it comes to people who are down and out, so I am trying not to be overly mean or kick him too much. He seems misguided and bizarre, but I'm not offended by the ranting and raving, so I'm just letting it go. You're right about it making the other party look even more guilty, though; that's always been my take on shady characters taking up for other shady characters.

True. I guess I just figured he's slime his way out of it anyway, or didn't have the money (which was one of his many claims at the time, that the business was failing, etc, needed to trim expenses, wasn't making money, etc, etc). He kept promising to pay until the statute of limitations ran out, and then was basically much less communicative. Well played, I guess, if that's the game you want to play.

Certainly isn't rocket science. And if there's some legit reason why you shouldn't pay them and they keep on pressing, then let the courts decide it.
Christ people.

Unfortunately, when it comes to money, the more of it people keep, the less of it they have to make. It's sad when things are weighed like that, but it's the reality of the business nowadays. Shit, I remember when sponsors used to track me down for not cashing their checks.
