The benefits of the cloud business model become apparent. 

No pay? no service.

Be sure not to threaten him with disclosure of his activities or you could be in legal trouble for slander. (Even if you're in the right. The law is very definitely on the side of the employer in this sort of case.)

>>> Hey guys, im just looking for a little advice. I recently did a very short contract for a company with a really unsavory character as its C.O. . Not only was he really unprofessional in his behavior but after the contract was ended and I asked about my last invoice I got complete silence. I have sent a few emails including one with the invoice and have gotten nothing back. Im unsure how to proceed if he wont pay me. I feel like I cant put the word out either as it would only reflect poorly on me as he is well known in the perl world. But because of his behavior I worry that I cant have been the only one this has happened to. Any advice?
