In case anyone missed the postings to comp.lang.smalltalk
by and about Dynamic Consulting over the last few months,
here's a summary of what has been revealed thus far about
Dynamic Consulting.  All numbers are approximate...


Mark van Gulik (me):
    $15,000   for Nov & Dec 1998
        -lawsuit is well underway
Sreenivasa Madenahally:
    $18,000   for Jan & Feb 1999
Christopher Boxall:
    $500        recent
Marcus H. Chen:
    -victim of false claim of client acceptance of contract


Third person stories that were posted:

anonymous (ihatedcs@my-dejanews.com)
    -current employee, complaint about medical insurance
J.D. Holmes
    -on current project, a Dynamic Consulting contractor
     left due to not being paid for a month
    -a second Dynamic Consulting contractor was planning
     to leave (same project) due to nonpayment (4/30/99)
Samuel S. Shuster
    -has colleague owed "several thousand dollars" by DCS
    -unresolved as of 03/31/99


The only thing Dynamic Consulting has posted thus far in
response to these claims is (3/31/99):

>This is a completely false message created by somebody
>working for a competitor, in trying to cause problems
>because of an important deal going on. We are contacting
>our attorneys to take criminal action against this person/
>organization. It is really pathetic that these people are
>stooping to such lows, just to win some business.


After being prompted by an onlooker to clarify their position
(i.e., what aspect was false, that I (Mark van Gulik) worked for
them, that I excercised my 30 day breakout clause, or that
they owe me money), they instantly fell silent.  I haven't heard
*anything* from them since 3/31/99, aside from their bot-like
job availability posts in various newsgroups.


I will repost this message (suitably updated) each time I
observe Dynamic Consulting posting job openings.
