      @Minion-Queen @scottalanmiller I'm amazed any judge would even charge extortion in the first place.

      Georgia

        Technically, the lawsuit is extortion. It's an attempt to get him to be forced to work for free with the threat of being fined or jailed if he doesn't.

            They also charged him with a lot of unrelated things that don't match what they said happened. This suggests you can sue the phone company if you stop paying your bills and they turn off your phone service. Their story that the papers reported didn't match up to the crimes that they charged him with. Even the Chamber of Commerce's own description was that he did nothing wrong.

              This is @jimk for those that know him. He's an old timer around here.

                  @scottalanmiller if they need a good defense attorney, I have a good recommendation (HS buddy who fights the good fight).

                      According to the article, he was owed $78K which is a large sum of money. It's not like he shut off service when they owed him $3k.

                          That's crazy...

                          If I stop paying my internet bill, they will shut it off. Why should it be any different for the chamber of commerce for a different service?

                              Hi @jimk!!

                              For obvious reasons Jim can't really talk about stuff. But jeeze louise we need to get the message out there that a client suing an MSP for shutting unpaid for services is not extortion and it's their fault!

                                  Oh it's extortion, just the Chamber of Commerce doing the extortion.
