We have a meeting with our big partner/client. Their foundation is wondering where the royalty payments from our core product are. They’re still not receiving them and so finally put a stop payment on our invoices.

Riddler’s response?

Well, I haven’t been paying because I’ve been reinvesting the money in
our new product without your knowledge and in defiance of our contractual
obligations.

So does that mean.. the client now owns part of our next product?

How can you dig yourself into such a hole? How can you ignore contractual obligations and try and justify it?

I’ll never stop being surprised.
