Before anyone considers working with this person, make sure you're aware of the accusations you're in for..

This person sent me the files 2 hours ago to be coded, expected me to drop everything I was working on and within 30 minutes was already buzzing me on MSN to get a preview of the work. Then, signed offline. I went away after I finished the work, and came back to find him accusing me of stealing his design and calling me a thief. At this point, I told him that the work is complete, but I do not want to do business with him. I can already foresee future issues after delivery.

For your amusement, I'm including the chat log:

10:46:03 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Hello.
10:46:09 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: When will you be taking on my WordPress project?
10:47:40 AM derek: No, I'm sorry it's below my required budget.
10:47:49 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: /slap
10:47:52 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: What the hell you mean
10:47:56 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: you were going to be taking it on before
10:47:57 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: wtf you mean
10:48:01 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: i'ma slap the **** out of you
10:48:04 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: you contact me at tfl
10:48:07 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: you don't remember?
10:48:10 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: you contacted ME
10:48:57 AM derek: Oh wait, I think I have you confused with someone else, but I don't believe I ever saw the design in XHTML/CSS as it is currently like I requested.
10:50:59 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: "I am highly skilled in converting sites into wordpress. However, my hourly rate is $35/hr, so with your budget of $40, you can see that I won't spend much more than an hour working on this. I will be able to quote you when you provide me with more information if I think I'll be able to complete what you are wanting done or not in an hour's time."
10:51:02 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Remember that PM!?
10:51:26 AM derek: I recall it now, but as I just stated I asked before to see it in XHTML/CSS as it is now so I can accurately quote it.
10:51:42 AM derek: I was never shown the design as it is, and/or what's needing to be done (the depth of wordpress functionality)
10:53:52 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: I show you screenshot
10:54:26 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: http://www.imagespace.us/images/kw929jue2zyrz8gznb6.png
10:54:28 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Please let me know
10:55:49 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Just need it coded into latest version of WordPress.
10:55:51 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Can you please do it?
10:56:05 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: You can finish it within an hour...and I'll still pay you $40, that's $5 above your hourly rate.
10:56:17 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: This will be easy for you. ^-^
10:56:20 AM derek: You said it's already in html right?
10:56:24 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Yes, XHTML/CSS.
10:56:42 AM derek: kk, zip it and send it to derek@indesicant.com
10:59:31 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Sent
10:59:36 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Please finish soon

11:05:17 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Can you make layout wider?
11:06:40 AM derek: I suppose it's possible but it'd require changing all the CSS to accomodate.
11:17:27 AM derek: One thing, You're going to have to find and configure a voting system. I'll do the rest however.
11:17:40 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Ah yes..do you know of any?
11:17:49 AM derek: Not offhand.
11:19:09 AM King Justice, Game Monarch: Do this plugin, please:

1:00:33 PM derek: Okay, well the work is completed. But with your attitude, I've already decided I don't want to business with you. Find someone else. Good day.
