Kasey, here are some points you should think about before you take this any further.
1) You could have easily called me to sort out this misunderstanding, but you didn?t. You still to this day have not called me.
2) You admitted above that you had been getting paid $50/hr on prior work. It was clearly a misunderstanding that could have been solved in one conversation.
3) If you wanted to change your rate, all you had to do was ask. You never once called me to discuss a new pay rate. You simply changed the rate on your bill and sent it in. I probably would have given you the raise in your pay if you would have asked for it before you started the project. Heck, I would have even given it to you after the fact if you were cool about it. Obviously you weren?t cool about it.
4) You're trying to lay the blame on Mike. You knew Mike joined iPorn only two weeks before you began work on the site. He had no knowledge of our prior arrangements or what you had been getting paid. Again, a situation where a simple phone call could have saved you a lot of grief.
The bottom line is that you made no effort to resolve the problem. You just reacted. What you did was unethical. Don?t try to make me look like a bad guy when I?m not the cause of the problem. Vandalism and defamation of character is a serious issue and it leaves a permanent mark on your record. You could have a very hard time trying to find work. You are very lucky that I have no interest in going this route. Any other company would have already filed the papers. If anyone hires you in the future, my suggestion is to be upfront with them and if you have a problem, work it out in private.
