Crestok has just filed for bankruptcy
WaterView:
Unfortunately I was about $2.75 from a $50. payout. Can anyone help me figure out how to fill out the PROOF OF CLAIM (Form 31) and GENERAL PROXY I'm supposed to send back to [email protected]? I am not good at all the legal mumbo-jumbo.
I know I probably won't get paid but, willing to try anyway. Thanks

Not a contributor so didnt get email. Did it mention anything about parent company Masterfile?
Lev:
Email also says they will continue to sell our photos after bankruptcy. Just they will not owe us anything. Amazing. It looks like fraud.

Well the site is still up and says nothing. I wrote to Masterfile and asked. Maybe the email isn't real or maybe? I didn't get it, because I left in about 2010. :) That's when I stopped supporting the parasites of the industry.
Keep in mind, anyone who stays with these terrible and troubled places, if you make a sale and don't get paid, you didn't do anything but give away a free image that might have sold elsewhere. So the illogical reasoning "I make a little something" is really hard to understand. Making nothing and being ripped off, is not making a little anything. :) Working for free isn't on my wish list.

I think this was one of the first agencies I ever left, and never looked back. Your summary of them is spot on in my opinion, but I hope those who still had earnings get their payments. Hate to see it going to a collection agency or similar.
