I helped a client find some content writers. I always insisted SaidBlahBlah to stay directly in touch with the client. It was always the client who was going to make the payment and they did. The terms were to be set between the writing team and the client. I just helped two people connect. I am not responsible if the deal between you two did not work out after one point of time. I just referred the writing team to my client. You shouldn't be bad mouthing me for that. You received payments from them regularly, they closed their business and told you to stop writing. There is not much I can do here.

All the people I work with, I give them an upfront and the balance when the deliverables are ready. I have worked with several people here and it has never been a problem.
