A Colorado judge chided a welding company that tried to pay off a $23,500 settlement with a subcontractor by sending the money in loose coins that weighed 3 tons

. Judge Joseph Findley ruled Monday that JMF Enterprises “acted maliciously and in bad faith” by delivering a custom made metal box containing the coins that was too heavy to be carried in the freight elevator at the offices for Fired Up Fabrications' lawyers, let alone the forklift required to carry it, according to court filings. Findley ordered JMF to pay by a more conventional method like a check.

” Lawyers for JMF said the settlement agreement did not specify how the money was to paid and said it had no intention of harassing Fired Up Fabrications, noting that both parties were “very close friends” before the lawsuit. “The form of the settlement in this case is a reference to their shared career field and is intended to satisfy the settlement, albeit in an uncommon form,” they said in a September court filing.
