Kurt:  At least you will be getting some of what the old company owed you in November- the new company is completely different now-you just have to work with them. That is if you elected to go along with their buy-out agreement- other wise you remain still owed of that money that the old company was due you for the work you did. It was a choice that we each had to make.
