Reading between the lines, I suspect these contractors were all relieved to have fired this troublesome customer. The public bans of entire regions for life after perceived grievances with individual people is not something a reasonable customer does. Asking your contractor to pay for a damaged wire on a used device you sent them and then using words like "gaslighting" and "sociopath" when he pushes back--this isn't normal. They keep insisting they just needed help with a little debugging--any programmer knows debugging is harder than writing the code initially. This customer doesn't seem worth it; they don't seem to have the professionalism necessary to manage a contractor project like this. This article does not make them look good.

Especially when you may well have been handed a pile of trash, that you need to rewrite anyway to make workable. I'm not surprised that all the prices quoted were on the very high side, especially factoring in a difficult customer.
