The owners are now suing Shaw and Randall for the remaining balance that was not charged to their account. Discusses the legal ramifications they have had to suffer and current lawsuits against them. Writes that after, almost five years, I am a third time going to China, without having received a single dollar of the balance for my services the first time...
