The director of the subcontractor told Mr Smith that he didn't accept the end to the business relationship. He told Mr Smith:"You have f***ed with the wrong people, you have been a wideo, you are five grand light in payment - it is now 15 grand, you have until Monday.Shaw also identified Mr Shaw's home and company address during the call.
