As a developer I cannot and will not advocate keeping a client's money if the job was not done. If the job cannot be finished, or if the client and I have a "parting of the ways" the money goes back to the client, that simple.
However, I have dealt with my share of clueless idiot clients who have totally unrealistic expectations and have been tempted at times to drag their asses through the mud and shove their money up their ass, so, while I cannot condone MadRox keeping the money while deciding not to finish the job, I can certainly understand the frustration and exasperation that comes from dealing with totally clueless clients.
BTW, there really are very very few custom jobs that can be done in two weeks. But there are tons of clueless clients that will not accept the truth as an answer.
