Everyone wound up having to use CCbill so CCbill ran an iron fist and you couldn't argue with them at all. The guy who paid me was an absolute POS with drug/alch, anger and other issues. He's been arrested many times. So yeah, you were lucky to be paid reliably. He'd come in and fire half/all of the staff (acts and tech people) and offer us thousands of dollars to show up the next day. I was young and abuse-vulnerable at that time. It was the most money I'd made ever at that point. Same with a lot of the acts. A lot of us just dealt with it.
