The adjuster and lawyer would schedule a meeting a month or two away,
and when they showed up (flying in from out of town) one would
typically open his briefcase and say, "Oh, I forgot this or that
important document, so we won't be able to do anything today.   Let's
see, I'm available again in three months so lets meet then."   And,
next time the same sort of thing would be repeated.   After three
years of run arounds, most of the players were gone from the table and
those left were happy to get ten cents on a dollar just to stop having
to take time to show up at unproductive carnival meetings.   It was a
financial disaster even though everything was legally in place and
there was no reason for them not to pay.   None of the contractor
group could afford a court case over it, and the jerks got away with
it.

The guys who hang deadbeats from the roof by their heels come off like
geniuses in this one.
