Well apparently their "Two highly gifted programmers" had a hard time making a link in the footer point to their actual website so in case you're wondering whose behind this here is the site of the "webmaster" http://www.alexlucastech.com Obviously not the smartest move this guy could have made. As someone who has been pretty brash with collection practices in the past with customers who refused to pay I do not mind saying this was plain dumb, the guy clearly could use some lessons in running a business the right way |

You got many Mom and Pop operations like that who have technical skills but don't have a lick of business sense or business experience. It is ironically the main reason why so many Dotcom startups and Dotcom companies fail.
I figure they were in a hurry to add that link and so they rushed the job and botched the link back to their web site. Then maybe they were locked out of editing the web site because someone changed the password to the account they were using. I figure someone will erase their notice and nobody will know the difference. The only evidence will be this HN thread about it.
But seriously they need a lawyer to review their contract and find a way to collect on the money. Unless the client is filing bankruptcy (there is a cycle to it where a debtor can collect and cannot collect in the process of a bankruptcy but it is so complex only a lawyer can figure it out). Writing about it in public may even violate the contract in the first place if not some laws as well.
