I wouldn't be persuaded to pay him at this point, what I am expecting, or hoping maybe more, is that (currently the balance is red, therefor negative) once all account clearing is done (which seems to be in the not so far future, not even for chris) is that at least everything for december that isn't paid will be added to the balance. Since we've already paid the "maintenance" for that. At least, that's a question he should probably answer in the Q&A, after paying the fee, what will happen to the last six months and separately, to missing decemberpayments for 2014. That would be "lowering" the fee payable considerably. I'd be willing to gamble with a ROI of 2 weeks when paying only a bit of the fee when december payments are substracted.
