He used to run Imperium Games. As far as anyone can tell, not paying authors seemed to be one of his money-saving measures (it's truly pathetic that I know of at least one other company that put out lots of product that also did this). I talked to him on the phone once and he was clearly a total weasel. In the end, everyone got paid 50% of their contract, when Marc Miller found out what was going on and pulled the license and the whole ignominious house of cards came falling down. Imperium games was also noted for dreadful editing, terrible rules, impressively horrid formatting screw-up, laughably bad b&w art (the Chris Foss color art had nothing to do with the setting and was stuck in seemingly at random, but was at least attractive). By far the worst edition of Traveller ever, and dishonesty too. Definitely someone to avoid.
