That's just sad. If I got a bill like that, the whole world would know about it.

It's not the kind of thing you'd generally want people to know.

I am assuming you guys are talking about hiding the fact that a company billed somebody for coming to an interview?

No, they didn't. They billed someone for lying about their experience and attending a meeting in bad faith.

I really need to go back to grade school and learn reading comprehension again. I dunno how I missed that, lol.

Maybe I have no excuse and am just secretly lazy.

It's implied. They state that he didn't have the experience that he had claimed. They billed him for wasting their time by not being the candidate that he claimed to be. They don't state bad faith, they explain it. The legal term there is bad faith and overrides all other contractual stipluations. It implies you entered into a deal with the intent to cheat.
Bad faith applies anywhere. Any kind of contract. It's the overriding legal construct that makes contracts work.

Was there a contract in this case though, I'm guessing this would have no legal standing for them to get paid.. but crazier things have happened.

There is always a contract. He showed up under an agreement that he had presented his experience and they granted him an interview based on the facts that he claimed. That's the contract.

There certainly is. It would be really tough to prove, but there is every standing for it. They are claiming that he lied to try to attempt to scam them. That is a standard thing that you get sued for. Very hard to prove in this case, but the thing that they are claiming is a by the book legal basis.

Bad Faith sounds like the guys from Bad Religion and Faith No More got together and formed a new side project...

A lot of it would depend on the interpretation of the way his Resume was written. If it said Enterprise level experience with this,that, the other, and erlang too... and he had zero experience with erlang, I could see that potentially happening. It would still amaze me that a business would do that though.

I read a funny / potentially true theory on the internet recently...
Perhaps Hugh Hefner had a protection spell cast over all of hollywood, and now that he's gone, all the miscreants are getting exposed.
