yea it sounds like you weren't working for Naughty America, you were working for the RIP dude. NA doesn't have any obligation to you (or know who you are).
if i did work for a marketing company, and the boss dies, or the biz folds, i am not going to contact their clients to get my paycheck paid. that would be ridiculous, especially as a freelancer.
this seems like a shady thread smearing a company who never had a contract or agreement with you.
