1. Theoretically I am the asshole. I refused to push the code to github and the company refused to pay me. 2. Yes, I refused to do it until proper channels were established but I ended up looking like a sore thumb when other employees didn't mind pushing/pulling from github.com via wifi hotspots. I can talk to the bank, I can quit the job but the bottom line is that I will be without any cash inflow. My lawyer said that the consulting company is one of the biggest one and they will make sure that I don't have another job (Which is kind of true because of reference checks)

You did not answer the question. And how exactly can your past employer "make sure" that you do not have another job? I do not get your remark about the references check. If your potential future employer will be interested in references from your past employers and if they find out something which raises concerns, they should want to hear your side of the story as well. You will get every chance to explain what exactly happened and why you acted as you did. If they do not like it, you probably would not want to work for them anyway. In any case, do not get intimidated and do not worry too much about the loss of income. It will be temporary. You have all the freedom to choose your next employer. Do so wisely.
