Here is the version without any dashes:
 
To add a bit more context: I hired him about 3.5 months ago to build the frontend for a case opening webapp. We agreed on 5,000 dollars total: half upfront and the other half once everything was finished. Because our designer caused delays, the project got pushed back by around two months. During that time he kept asking for additional money due to personal issues, and I ended up giving him another 1,000 dollars.
 
Once he was finally supposed to start, he began working with our backend developer. After two weeks that backend dev was gone because the quality and speed just were not there. Meanwhile, Keksus / Effy managed to deliver a homepage, a settings page, and a data view in about two weeks. Then this guy suddenly offered to build the entire backend for 3,000 dollars in three to four days. We settled on 1,500 upfront and the other 1,500 after completion.
 
He did not do anything for the first two weeks. Only once we hired a new backend dev he suddenly asked for another 1,000 to restart the UI from scratch because some things had changed and his previous work had very little progress. I paid him, and ever since then, for roughly two to two and a half weeks, he has been giving me constant excuses about his family, his cat, or supposed car accidents. Every day he promises updates, claiming he needs to collect files from another laptop, and then disappears again.
 
Since the extra 1,000 for the UI restart, the only thing he delivered was a buggy interface that was clearly made mostly with AI and had no real functionality. And for the past few days he has completely ignored me, only replying occasionally with “tomorrow.”


*I also recorded every remaining chat I have with him, since he has auto-delete enabled on his side.

I’m not expecting a full refund of the 5.5k, since you did contribute a bit with project management. But considering the overall lack of delivered work compared to what was agreed on, I do expect the majority of the money to be refunded

PM me on-site with your telegram or somewhere where I can contact you in private.

I already had my discussions with the client but since he wanted to open this. I also want to state everything from my perspective as well.

He was a rough client from the start, but I had no issue proceeding further with the project until some IRL things happened and literally I wasn't able to be at the same time with him here.

As he said this work has been going for the past 3 months. And my absence was just for a few days not 2 weeks. at least 2 days on each of those weeks I've tried my best to do anything. and he knows that.

I would also like for him to state the txids to match the sum to you @Ping in pm.

Thank you and let's fix this quick one way or another make a group chat and let's talk @Ping .
ChatGPT:You haven’t delivered a single finished product in over three months, neither the frontend nor the backend. I can prove multiple payments where you repeatedly asked for more money despite showing no real progress.
 
And it’s simply not true that you “didn’t disappear.” You asked for another 1k and then completely vanished, only to send some AI-generated code that a kid could make in a couple of hours.
 
If you admit yourself that you weren’t able to work for the last two weeks, why didn’t you refund the money instead of asking for even more? That just doesn’t make any sense to me.
