You have to keep a close leash on your contractors: https://www.loweringthebar.net/2019/10/fourth-level-subcontr...

EDIT: I am _very_ sad that link rendering truncated "murder plot" from that

Yep. War is one of those things where it doesn't matter how much subcontractor B is yelling at subcontractors C on the phone and telling them to lie about their names.

I used to tell the prime contractor to just be honest. They couldn't even do that. Most of my business now comes from clients of A who have been burned badly and now physically meet the person who will actually be doing the work.
