You have it pretty much dead on, the seller is trying to, or at least threatening to, take my friend to cour on this..... and that's where I got so lost and confused because I can't figure out for the life of me what premise he has. And that's why you are reading this now....... as I said, I don't do this sort of deals.....
I am extremely particular on who I buy content from and I have to know someone awfully damn well in order to buy more than $100 worth, much less this amount. I have been ripped twice on buying content and that's that.......... I got so damn paranoid that I don't deal with ANYONE on content unless I know them AND the way they do business, AND they have to come highly recommended.
BUT when you are new to the industry, it is very hard to decide who is going to rip you off and who isn't. In as much as people hate newbies, scammers eat them up like they are a fucking gourmet meal..... and it pisses me off.

Yeah no shit. I guess this goes as a tip for the noobs, while research will not bring any immediate cash flow, it definatly pays in the long run.
We learned our 10k lesson. Awhile back, we ordered some custom content from a guy that came fairly well recomended, and we got our vids and stuff. Like 2 months late. Which hurts when you have the site design sitting there, affiliates all primed and ready to promote this hot new site ect....then to try and keep the fires burning for a 2 month delay. Then when we got our content, it fuckin sucked ass. The guy promised he would use fresh exclusive models, and a third of em had been all over the net.
The site coverted like shit, and we lost alot of our good affiliates becasue of it. It was a bigger mess then I really care to get into,
the point is, when you think you have researched and checked someone out, check again. And don't take the content producers friends word for anything. Ask around on every board to can get to, and make sure you know what you are getting.
I guess at least your friend has things documented, I hope he can recover.
