If he owes you, your friends or associates past due payments, I am sorry for that. But, at the same time, please understand: (1) I am not to blame and (2) that being upset that my history with Kim, spanning over 15 years, is different than yours, won't help you or your friends get paid if they are owed.

JimmyStephans,
I'm not upset at you, or angry, or vengeful, I'm more irritated at your smug, condescending tone and passive-aggressiveness. And to clear up any confusion, I'm not owed any money (I've written off the $300 short I mentioned earlier), nor do I have any friends or associates owed any money by him.
As for your smooth dealings with Kim Nielsen, it seems you're not the only one whose interactions with him are all unicorns farting rainbows. Over the past year or two, agents have told me he not only pays them on time and in full, but also remunerates the models for his POV site at about double the normal going rate, which is obviously extremely generous. Also, some of the models hired for that site have gushed about how nice he was, particularly for the Vuitton bags and other such gifts that he bought them, and for the luxury accommodations and high end restaurants they patronized while on location in places like Hawaii, Las Vegas, and even some destinations in the Far East.
Bearing all this in mind, I must admit it seems beyond the realm of credibility that he would be stiffing his content producers. So perhaps those shooters who are whining about not getting paid for months and years are just like the actors and actresses in the two porn features Kim made (at ~$200,000 and ~$300,000 respectively) who complained they didn't get their promised residuals--they're just malcontents.
