He has never failed to catch up when he could. Unfortunately the time it takes to catch-up / balance out grows longer as site memberships are killed by free porn and piracy.
Hang in there.

What do you know about ATK's shooters getting paid? You did a lot of business with him 15 years ago.. well, things change... people change. Your platitudes about piracy and "never failed to catch up when he could" are ignorant nonsense.

But no, I didn't mean it was Fred's own fault or that he needs to write it off and move on. Just the opposite - that if he can hang in there my history, and what I've read, seems to indicate the money will eventually come..

Not all of them got paid, not all of them got paid in full. Some of the shooters are still owed money from that time; some have given up getting paid, some are hoping they will, finally, get paid.
From what you've read, the money will eventually come? I don't know what you've been reading, but it's not what I've been reading, seeing, or hearing about this.
