COMPLAINT about Michael McGrath / M J McGrath Publishing / North America Mining Newspaper / northamericamining.com – Writer claims he’s owed $3,068.25, that McGrath promised payment was forthcoming on numerous occasions, that he lied about payment being sent on numerous occasions, and that he initially praised the writer’s work but then criticized it and asked for rewrites only after the writer complained about lack of payment (this is a common ploy we see with deadbeats, by the way). Emails below also imply the publisher is withholding payment now to punish the writer for complaining about lack of payment and for threatening to expose the publisher’s business practices.
