I was hired by Michael Louis Brittingham to layout his poetry book for both print and online sale. At that time, he presented himself as the President/CEO of the American Business Club in Zrich, Switzerland. Our initial agreement was that I would invoice him for the work once the project was finished.
I had no reason to doubt that he would pay me, as he presented himself on many websites with this - or other - title (s) and was working with a friend of mine to set up a record label to which he had offered an investment of 500K USD.*
I created the book layout in both print and Kindle format, and helped him lay down the steps to have his book published on Lulu, Amazon and Barnes & Noble, amongst others.
At one point in our project, there was the need to make a payment to buy an ISBN code. Michael asked me to pay this for him and add it to my invoice.
