What I get from the story (and I don't know the inside details because I don't care and haven't asked) is that he received money for the snakes and for some reason wasn't able to ship for an extended period of time. The money was spent (whether you believe it to be right or wrong, that is what happens in business) on medical bills and trying to stay alive in a bad reptile market. When it was agreed that he would repay the debt rather than continue trying to ship the snakes, he tried to sell them locally. Due to the economic downturn they didn't have the value they had before thus payment has been delayed. None of this makes him a bad guy. Whether you want to believe him to be one or not is your prerogative.
