A club owner who managed to stay away from his club when we showed up for scheduled meetings (on Sundays by his
insistence!) to pick up cash to replace his bad checks.He evidently spent our cash on the new Mercedes he was
driving. The place was shut down by the IRS, and the equipment that he stole from us was auctioned to pay his tax debt.
Anything left over was paid to creditors who stood in line before us. We got nothing. He managed to open another club 3 miles
away after stiffing everyone and getting away with it.

A homeowner in Tampa's most exclusive subdivision who stiffed us on service calls. Evidently he didn't leave
his wife with enough money to pay for subsequent service calls after she divorced him. The last time she called us for a service
call to learn how to turn on the AV system in time for her house party, she seemed surprised that we were going to need to
be paid for it, whether or not she paid the old bill!

A pond installer who turned out to be pond scum. We
delivered an AM/FM tuner to his house and connected it to his stereo system. But we declined to connect his television to
the cable service he was stealing from his next door neighbor and the cable company. He refused to pay and refused
to let us back into the house to retrieve our tuner. A true lowlife, thief and con man.

A club owner who paid us in cash for stereo and satellite equipment for his home. He agreed to pay cash to
install it. When the installation was completed, he refused to pay the crew, claiming that he had already paid cash for it.
Very clever- there was no check or credit card transaction- nothing to trace. A real con artist. Imagine how he must report
his taxable income, doing all this business with untraceable cash! He must've been saving the cash to pay for all those Tampa
Bay Buccaneer appearances at his club.

A nightclub that hired one of our former employees, had him pick up supplies from us and then refused to pay
for them. They took advantage of the employee and us. I wonder if our ex-employee still works for them... we haven't
heard from either in quite some time.

A former employee who took advantage of our trust, on behalf of his new employer and himself. He hasn't paid bills on
behalf of either. A real disapointment- we all liked him and overlooked his many technical shortcomings and carelessness...
we presumed that his high energy and "youthful exuberence" would give way to a more experienced, useful tech. It
didn't happen. Most of his extra energy was spent doing things over after messing them up the first time. His carelessness
made way for wrecklessness instead.

Where's that $1500.00 you promised?? Thanks a lot! Yup, it's true... wealthy, self-important people are sometimes
the biggest deadbeats of all.
