> I've heard that Eli is an alright guy. Don't know, never met the man. Roger Riley on the other hand has been f***ing people in this business for DECADES! I heard the same line of sh** that you said 25 years ago. First he lures you in with some bogus price for whatever (strand, cable, splicing).
Then when the check arrives 3 weeks later it's a whole different story. "What? I never said .10! I said .01!" or "that was the price in 'X' not in 'Y'" Or "that Dumbass secratery of mine....yadda-yadda" As far as retainage goes; furgetaboutit. You'll never see it, bro'... file it under a lesson learned and move on.
