And I will say again that Meat and Aga are my friends.
But the question of not paying people is a disturbing one.

Sleazy sure has helped a lot of people make a few coins and I wish him well and hope he finds peace continuing his quest for fulfillment.

Not quite the way I watched it unfold. But que sera sera. M and A as far as I can see did a runner. They took the money and ran. It was a classic old school grifter move. From the closing of the office in the UK. To the dubious excuse of the "law suit". Then not answering any communications. They made sure to leave enough confusion that the getaway was clean. A long con from beginning to end. To pull that off, you have to develop confidence and loyalty and "friendship". That is what con and grifting are all about.
My problem is that when it became obvious, there was no reaction from the biz at large. What happened there was worse perhaps than GFY and look at the reaction to that little problem. It went nuclear and M and A just well...went.

If it swims like a duck and it quacks like a duck and it looks like a duck......its a duck.
