Why don't the people telling these horror stories ever reveal the company names? Keeping silent only allows these scumbags to swindle more people.


I really don't feel like it is my place to mention the name. I wasn't involved. I know one of the other developers who didn't get paid took it to the investors (he happened to be friends with one of the better known ones). What the outcome was I do not know.


So don't tell the story in the first place IMO. Go all and prevent these guys from doing wrong by the next developer and all the community to decide on a COA re: company's actions or...don't. We all know that we can get screwed for doing business.
