Welcome to my world, Al.
This situation has affected me emotionally in a way that I have not previously experienced. Thankfully, I am at a place where $2500 will have no effect on my life moving forward but the betrayal aspect of RAYMOND's decision in this matter has had a tremendous effect on me.
For the record, RAYMOND only came forward with his admission of his stiff job after the following email exchange earlier today.

Looks like Al is on a mission to expose all MadJack stiffs.
I have no intention of telling him about your account but it would be nice for you to at least respond to my emails when I send them.

bussiness is not good at all! i am hurting right now, i will put myself on the stiff list.
Unlike many in my industry, I have not yet had been "hardened" by these types of circumstances which are frankly, a part of our business. I am thankful to be living back in Latin America which is where I spent my childhood and it feels to me like I have finally come home.
My life is good and I hold no ill will towards RAYMOND other than the hurt that I feel from the betrayal of a friend. I remain hopeful that he will make good on the debt soon so that our friendship can resume again.
You're a better man than me
