Vince Sliwoski in Portland Business Journal

“When people try to model it out from a cash flow or business perspective, it seems like a harder way to make money than with cannabis, when you had retail sales and scalability and didn’t have an obligation to have someone sit with the client all day long,” Sliwoski said. “It’s going to be hard for a lot of people to figure out how to pencil it.”

One client put it bluntly when he said that his happiness at securing an 7% cost reduction was tempered by the fact that his supplier flat-out told him that it was concerned about being able to continue getting the component parts it needed to make the client’s product because so many of its sub-suppliers were going out of business. This is the yin and yang of China’s falling economy.

Dan Harris, a partner at Harris Sliwoski in its Seattle, Washington office and an expert on collecting international judgments who is not involved in the matter, said that initially appearing in a litigation case and then becoming unresponsive is a common tactic by Chinese-based entities.

Harris said a strategy to collect a judgment in personal injury litigation is to convey to the corporation that if it fails to pay, it will encounter interruptions in its international supply chain.

Harris provided an example of a North Pacific company that intended to deliver $10 million worth of crab to a foreign port of a Chinese corporation that owed the attorney’s client $5 million. Ahead of the delivery, Harris would connect with a contact from the North Pacific company.

“I’d say to Jim, ‘How about you tell us right before you are about to send over that $10 million, and we can seize $5 million of it,’” Harris said. “For your help, we’ll pay you $100,000, and he’s like, ‘Sure.’ So, you can get into their faces all around the world. You can do a lot to recover the judgment, but you need to know how to do it.”
