Vince - you're not the bad guy, truly. And Paul might not even be a bad guy.

But at the end of the day, people are putting out money, and not getting products. Whether they are paying you, or paying Paul, it doesn't really matter.

You continuing to state reasons why you believe you've been doing the right thing, while Paul's been dropping the ball, isn't effective. Mainly, because it doesn't change the fact that people still don't have their products. It's only natural for people to be annoyed at both Paul, and at the middleman, who in this case is yourself.

This hasn't been working out, still isn't working out as of today, and shows no sign of working out in the future. What you need to do (IMO) is shut down any financial interest you have in this, return any money you are holding back to individuals who are still waiting for parts that are never going to arrive, and move on. Any money that is already in Paul's hands, continue to work with him (whatever that means) to get people whatever they can.

I feel for you, but I feel for your and Paul's unhappy customers more.
