If a client brings her up, say the nicest thing you can about her in a way that conveys what you really feel.
"She's a very imaginative woman."
I've been betrayed a few times, once by a very successful, respected company owner. She flat out stole money from the company who employed me. When people mentioned her, I'd shake my head sadly and say, "Boy, it's really sad how she went so far downhill." People who asked for more info, got a very concise, 100% true tale of the event. But I told it like I felt bad for her. (I didn't. She is a cunt). She went out of business. I guess she couldn't steal enough to make ends meet.
I had a who laid off everybody with no notice and refused to pay us for the last two weeks we worked. I felt literally sick about this. Like I wanted to sleep and throw up at the same time. Now I am his competitor. His actions cost him WAY more than the little money he gained. You know what? I'm going to keep costing him money. Fuck that guy.
I had a client steal $35 grand from me. Then he went on to tell lies about how we tried to steal from him. It was really odd, and I still don't understand why. I'm still mad about it. I warn my competitors about him. I tell his friends and competitors what he did, but it hasn't changed anything, and I still don't feel better about it. I'm pissed typing this. His day will come.
