I don't understand how you get involved with a client like this and never take payment. Care to explain? Curious as I don't freelance. Surely you take a deposit

  I did the routine vetting on google which pulled up only the good stuff: speaking engagements at conferences like ad:tech and multiple interviews. "Pretty legit guy" I thought. It wasn't until three returned checks, barrage of excuses and threats that I came out of my delusion and realized the guy is a scumbag. A true scumbag: the original client that his agency was hired by had paid the agency--probably several times what was owed to me. And yet, the schmuck owner of the agency thought it'd be better to cheap me than pay me my fair slice of what he made.
