Wow, absolutely hate to hear that someone would screw Josh over like this. He's one of the most stand-up figures in this space, as many others have attested to. Here's hoping for a successful resolution and full restitution for Josh.
EDIT: seems I'm way late to this and that some sort of resolution has been reached (at least based om recent posts, I didn't realize this had been originally posted a long time ago). So I just wanted to say: Josh

is a fucking boss, an absolute pleasure to do business with, and a good human.
