As I said, it is what it is. For every one person who had a bad experience, a thousand more jump in and defend someone they likely never hired to begin with (not saying you have or haven't, just saying in general).
If you're providing a service for a fee then the bullshit needs to be left at the door. Either do the job or don't accept it, and if something comes up, inform your paying client(s) of such...

Perhaps you should have pursued communications for longer than a week, not saying that makes it justifiable in any regard.. But again Fris is the type of guy who has a thousand things on his plate.. He is constantly helping people on this forum and doing favors for folks here.
I would hire Fris in a second.. I actually did of sorts and he refused payment citing the work was too easy. But still work and time none the less.
I highly doubt there are that many people who have had this type of experience with him, as this board eats their own. But again I do empathize with anyone who has hired anyone for a job and hasn't received it.. If specific terms were agreed upon.
Did he do any work for you? Did you receive anything? Did you pay anything upfront?
The OP said he was refunded initially.. Then re-hired. I myself have never run into a freelancer who doesn't occasionally run into issues via life or work that has a negative effect on the work agreed upon or the deadline. People aren't perfect, and shit happens, being it justifiable or not.
There are always two sides to every story as well.
I can only state from personal experience I find Fris to be very trustworthy and very good at what he does, unique in fact.
I do feel empathize with the OP and yourself as well.. But life happens, and again there are always two sides to every story. I myself would be very reluctant to walk away from an agreed* upon job after only one week after the start date if I had both hired and paid for x amount of work and received nothing. But that's me.
As to the OP, again.. If fris is mia I'm sure there is reason for it. If he or anyone else has issue with this, I suggest going elsewhere with their business next time.
Just my opinion.
