[Rails] HELP - My Programmers are AWOL !!

[maxxx232]

I hired a friend of a friend to build my company a fairly substantial 
application.  He quoted it, committed to it, and now says he has run out 
of money.

I've offered him additional money/incentives ...twice.  He continues to 
commit, and then, ultimately not make his commitment.

I'm not sure what my options are.

Ideally, I would like to simply fire him and hire someone to finish the 
job.  Our agreement was that the code was "mine" and I believe he would 
honor that ...I think ..hope.  Part of the problem however, is that I 
seriously doubt that there is anyone local with the ability to finish 
this.

Is it feasable to hire someone remote??  Further, how do I find someone 
I can trust?  My business' growth depends on the completion of this 
program.

Any thought would be appreciated.
