Who could afford to hire a lawyer knowing full well you're on the hook for 5
grand large minimum to Voltage before you even check the old bank account to
see if you could afford a lawyer who could end up losing and you end up paying
more. No the smart thing to do is pay everything Voltage is asking for in the
letter with a premium as the Canadian dollar is falling due to recession
negative GDP and a housing crash in Canada Vis-a-Vis the U.S. dollar. It's
better than getting a good working over from Voltage's henchmen and being
crippled for life or worst maybe end up dead.
