(((Damage control on false claims of a previous POS business partner.)))
Dear Cameron Reuss,
I highly recommend that you cease and desist your slander campaign before I come back and collect the 25% of "your company" that I own.
I quit working with Cameron Reuss and Reuss painting systems after years of cleaning up after him and years of being robbed and held hostage financially. Essentially being told that if I didn't help him finish jobs he'd made side deals on for free that my income would be shut off until they were completed.
Cameron drained me financially and then breached our contract and tried to reduce my position to hourly after 3 1/2 years of being his partner. You know what they say about friends and business. Someone always seems to get greedy and screw the other over. Well, that is certainly the case in this case, and I have the receipts. This is not a game you want to play with me.
I'm a single father trying to provide for my daughter with pictures of my work for the last several years. Work that I conducted, work that I am quite clearly photographed in, and work that a large amount of came directly from my camera roll, not yours.
I've been in every form of construction for the last 20 years, ranging from roofing houses, to essentially building skyscrapers at a 16 degree angle underground to establish coal mines. I'm a heavy equipment operator both surface and subsurface, and prior to a near life ending injury I received while working underground I had received my first class, Slope and Shaft, mine Examiners, and MINE MANAGERS papers from the state of Illinois department of Mines and minerals. You couldn't carry my boots, much less wear them. When I had already formed my first LLC you were a drunk and a he**in addict.
YOU CAME TO ME with the offer of a partnership with Reuss Painting Systems that included 20% ownership of the company, because you needed someone competent and someone to hold YOU accountable for the quality of your work. (Which I have in writing as well) I'm not going to sit back and have a terminated printer salesman that used his severance to start a painting company because "I Googled businesses with the cheapest startup cost" cut my guts out any longer.
I couldn't even imagine having the audacity to ask me to sub work for you after all this. The last picture is literally from this past Friday.
I'll be adding pictures of the VERY FIRST JOB that Cameron Reuss did without me present. Ironically it looks very similar to the job he did years before where he painted a pregnant woman's carpet, fixtures, garage floors, and literally every surface imaginable in her home. (I'll include the link)
I tried to simply leave amicably and take my work and move forward, but clearly that's not possible with a narcissist. To publicly call me an assistant after cleaning up after you and your shotty work for years is disgusting to say the very least. How many assistants get paid 20% - 25% Gross? Throwing in my face"I made almost 400k in revenue" yet you lied at nearly every juncture to cut my percentage lower and hold me financially hostage to make you that 400k.That 400k was partially stolen from my household and my ability to provide for my daughter and it was just never quite enough, just as leaving me alone now isn't good enough. Enjoy your truth. I'll no longer allow myself to be called a thief and a fraud without rebuttal.
All I can say is if you do business with Reuss Painting Systems read your contracts carefully. Because once you sign a contract, you can't back out of paying in full, and then he has the chance to make any corrections that need be made. You're also essentially signing a gag order that prevents you from publicly complaining about the quality of his work. Nobody who does good work and conducts good business with people needs a contract like that.
So, if you'd like someone working in your house that puts more effort into describing your wife to their business partner then they do explaining the scope of work on a job, or someone that had to learn that the quality of work displayed in the link below wasn't acceptable due to an absolute lack of common sense. Reach out to Cameron Reuss at Reuss painting systems and he'll try his little best to get you taken care of without sueing him.
