>>102666163 (OP)I don't think the talents get salaries. They're contractors who get merch cuts and sponsorships which come out quarterly. The money was probably going to the people with actual salaries -managers, lawyers, producers, etc- who had to be paid on time. The contractors probably had a more flexible deal that Vshojo exploited to delay payments they couldn't afford. Talents are rich anyway and make enough money from their streams to get by without the Vshojo cut, so they give the agency the benefit of the doubt when gunrun says he'll pay later.
