Windsock. Re..If the General felt their were not getting paid for legitimate work they would file a lien against Intel. <<<<<< Apparently you think the general works for the subs. Wrong. The general is hired by the property owner, Intel in this case, who in turn hires sub- contractors. The subs do the work, and are the ones owed the money, so they have to file the notices, and the liens. The general, in the law's eyes, is on the owners side. If it were done as you suggest, the general could easily not file any liens on time, and the subs wouldn't get paid, and thereafter have no legal hold on the owner, the general then could file for bankruptcy, and the owner would skate free. Even if Intel paid the general, Intel is still liable if the general doesn't pay the subs.
