Rhode Island is investigating complaints that former Red Sox ace Curt Schilling’s troubled video game company failed to pay hundreds of workers for several weeks in May before it shut down operations last week.

Workers said the company, which laid off its employees on May 24, stopped issuing paychecks after April 30. The firm had more than 400 full-time employees and contractors in Rhode Island and Maryland.

Laura Hart, spokeswoman for the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training, said Wednesday that the agency was conducting “an active investigation” into the wage situation at 38 Studios. “If there are unpaid-wage complaints, we are going to pursue them,” she said.

A former manager at 38 Studios in Providence, who filed a complaint with the state about unpaid wages, said he was shocked the company did not take other measures, such as furloughing employees as soon as it realized it would not be able to pay them.

1. Now the deadbeat POS

is trying to blame Lincoln Chafee and the RI government for his inability to get the work done.

This is Republican personal responsibility in it's truest form. What do you want to bet Schillings checks never failed to clear?

Everyone knows that the nobility don't pay peasants...the peasants serve Lord Curt...and they should be glad for the privilege!

3. What a POS

Everything about him that is coming to light today just reaffirms why I hated him as a ballplayer (ok I'm a Yankees fan and I hate him most for 2001 and 2004).
