I'm not saying he's completely fault, but if you go back for seconds and you get the same thing you got the first time, getting shafted, you were basically asking for it. If someone dicks you over, cut them out of your life. It can be difficult, painful, and possibly the hardest thing you've ever done, but if you don't do it you'll have even more regrets later on when they take advantage of you again and again. You're broke, you're desperate, you've only got this one contact, and you figure, hey, what's the worst that could happen? Well, now you know. Now you're still broke and even more angry than before. That being said, if he's got a legal leg to stand on he should lawyer up and go after this guy.
