Imagine if they did immediately refute that this occurred. Wouldn't you be more suspicious of the defensiveness?

A: five years ago you made a pretty bad mistake that hurt me personally.

B: I must have let my priorities slip, and it sounds like in my oversight I hurt you personally. Reach out with more details and we can make this right.

> I must have let priorities slip

saying a metaphorical “fuck you, I can’t pay you for the work you did for my business” by ignoring OPs alleged many emails and correspondence to get compensated is just as bad if not worse than a literal “fuck you, I can’t pay you” imo, but I’m also one that appreciates honesty and not sketchiness or being ghosted even if the outcome is not in my favor.
