I would easily pay to subscribe to such a thing, if it had good, searchable, convenient info that filled the gap.
People that run out on their debts = fucking losers.
I would be ashamed to admit I hang around or associate or do business with someone like this.
Just last week I had a foreign employee quit on me after putting me through some considerable trouble (no notice, disappeared for a while, etc). She showed up weeks later, asking to be paid for the pro rated amount of a job she had not finished. [which was tiny, and frankly not worth my time even to do the paypal, never mind make up for the hassles she had brought upon me]. But what did I do? I sent her the goddamn money because I pay my debts, not just to people that can hurt me, but to people who can't.
Sometimes I'm really embarassed to work "online".

http://www.ripoffreport.com usually works pretty well believe it or not. It isn't perfect but it's a great place to report people who screw you as long as you make sure to sufficiently identify them. From what I gather they tend not to remove reports easily under casual legal threats although they have some sort of advocacy plan which tries to sugar coat it. Even so the reports seem to stay up. Hit that site and a dozen like it with sufficient info on the online business and owners who ripped you off and they will not be able to avoid getting hurt by it. Just make sure you really mean what you say because I don't think they will take the report down or allow you to edit it after the fact.
