Developers generally take a percentage upfront. what some people forget is that as a freelance developer if your client doesnt pay, you dont get paid, it's not like working for a company where you generally get paid no matter what.
A developer can spend, hours, weeks, hell even months programming and for someone to recieve the work and not pay is a huge kick in the teeth, i guess it's this guys way of saying, ok you screwed me, now i screw you and getting satisfaction that the site isnt online. It's awful when this happens as nobody will pay the freelancer for all his hours spent on that paticular project.
