he underpays, forcing people to go through the time and cost of a lawsuit in order to get proper payment out of him.

probably the worst result is that he has to pay what he owed all along. maybe he has to pay legal fees as well. i imagine that's more than covered by the people who don't sue or who give up or who settle for much less.

he abuses the very concept of a contract for fun and profit.

in other word, his word isn't worth the paper it's written on, even when it's actually written on paper and accompanied by his legal signature.

His companies are. His FEC filing said he was involved in about 500 companies.

All corporations have names and are registered either in one of the 50 states or another country. If I sue Berkshire Hathaway I am not suing Warren Buffett even though he is the face of it.
