      Sounds like, from the article, that Karic did nothing to validate the claims and arrested without even attempting to verify evidence? But from Karic's own statements, even if there was evidence, it would not matter as the storage was the service and they didn't pay so there was no need to continue the service.

      We'd need Karic's own versions to know, but MSP Mentor paints a pretty solid picture of corruption and crime in Forsythe County's sheriff's office. I bet we would find someone in the sheriff's office related to someone making money at the Chamber of Commerce.

          Honestly Jim, when this guy signed the contracts at the chamber of commerce, you should have known to have been wary.

            If you had ever been to Forsyth, you'd know how dead on this is.

                    That's how these things work. No need to have a real case, drive a business out of business using the legal system as a weapon. No due process, no need to even go to court.

                        I didn't believe this until working at the law firm I work at now that mainly defends businesses. It is absolutely horrible what happens to businesses, especially SMBs.

                          Yeah, there is no protection for ordinary people in America. The law isn't there to protect people, it is a weapon of the rich and powerful.

                                      he's talking about the police state, I think.

                                          Of course you can shut off services for non-payment. The BIG caveat here is Office 365, its not the MSP's service and during your Cloud Partner training with Microsoft you have to specifically illustrate that you understand this on the tests.

                                          Even with the CSP program where you are directly billing the customer, you can not just reset their passwords and shut them off. You can stop paying and they can login to start their own subscription.

                                          It reads as if he shut off access by resetting their Office 365 passwords.

                                            Not in Georgia. Your rights are not spelled out by the law.
