have you had any real heart to hearts with him about it? sometimes honesty is just best - if he's a great guy I'm sure he feels horrible about not being able to pay you - for all you know, he may be owed money himself...

I think in the end - you may end up taking some kind of loss - I know a lot of people right now, who if they are working are working for a lot less - in some cases half of what they made just two years ago.

it's a personal decision for everyone how to deal with these.

the larger part of me says come clean w/ him and try to cut a deal on what is owed as a good faith move, and suck it up.

BUT - from that point forward you have a clean slate, you haven't burnt any bridges and who knows what could come of a creative conversation.
