I used to work for the richest man in Australia (The late Kerry Packer), one conversation he had with me was that he has been so successful because everyone knows that his handshake or word is as good as a contract. That to be successful people need to know that you don't go back on your word.



Mr Packer said that naturally he always had contracts But in business your handshake should be as good as a signature as your honour and reputation as a businessman was worth everything.

Great sentiment, too bad though this day in age a handshake isn't work squat. But even with a written contract, if Roger hadn't had it digitally signed, it would have been their word against his. I'm pretty sure in a court of law though the contract would hold up and OKCoin would be forced to pay any penalties or back payments that are due. Just because one of their staff (the CTO) made an agreement that the CEO doesn't agree with (later after it's been signed) doesn't invalidate the contract between the company and the client.
