We're talking about White Walls Gallery in San Francisco. The last 2-3 years (at least) the owner had shows with artists, promised to pay them, and never did. I say the owner, because as of last year his whole staff quit (and they were in the dark on this, so I'd never blame them). This wasn't 1 or 2 people, this was everyone. He's since had to close up shop and sell his building, as nobody wanted to work with him anymore. Most were forced to take legal action to get him to pay up, which he still hasn't. If you bought a piece from that gallery in the last 2-3 years (maybe more) there's a very good chance the artist never received a dollar from that sale. I can confirm this after email conversations with over 30 different people who never got paid.
Since I don't want to come off as a spiteful artist, there are plenty of great galleries I've worked with, who would never dream of doing what White Walls did.

Indeed, sad what Justin did.
