I know of someone who’s dealt with him. Getting money out of him is a real pain.

His normal MO is to get contractors or vendors who can’t possibly go head to head against him legally. He extends, sometimes counter sues. Eventually he says - ok you say I owe you this. I’ve spent this on legal fees so I’ll subtract that and pay the rest. The vendor, if they can afford to stay in it, almost has to agree or they could end up with nothing.

pay first basis to vendors for a long time because of his failure to pay. Caused a lot of business to lose everything and he would then swoop them up for about nothing .
