i sent them emails just the way you explained. They are a shitshow who just burned through their $ on fancy NYC lunches with potential clients.

So I just spoke to my old lawyer buddy this morning.. basically for $25k it is borderline not worth it...and honestly i cant take my eye off the ball now - as we need to quickly find new projects.

re: contract we have one in place. it has a clause for IP ownership based on full payment..and we've stopped work a while ago.

i will send them a final followup email reminding them of the IP ownership terms and that they currently have in their hands ( ie their github acccnt ) OUR property.
