Their MO: open a company, accumulate debts and happily start a new company.)…

The thing is that I started working with them quite a while ago. The first time was in 2007 and I had no problem for over 10 years. Our collaboration was pretty sporadic, but I had no reason to have any doubt, and you are not looking for anything that would confirm your doubt if you have no reason to doubt from the start.

She just will not reply to anyone, which shows how little power freelancers can have in a case like this. This is the first time it happens to me in 20 years. ▲ Collapse
