It would also shut down their services, including email, and result in any emails to anyone at their domain bouncing back...he nuked them.

I've worked with two MSPs and handled this same situation occasionally. You do almost exactly as you said...export every bit of their information that you are a custodian for and deliver it to them with some kind of assurance they received it. You also work -as best as you possibly can- with the new custodians of their system so services are uninterrupted. Yes, you will lose money, but you also won't get sued for maliciously destroying data that doesn't belong to you and you won't be a petty, morally bankrupt monster who likely cost people their livelihoods out of spite.




"Licenses off, domain released, data erased. I'll def give an update back in a few weeks."

... lol, dude. Who does this? Ignore for a moment that doing this is in some ways actually illegal... but why would someone do this anyway? Like... why would you want to destroy someone's business? How petty does it get!

Right?! That particular comment is downvoted into oblivion -thankfully- but there are folks in there patting him on the back and trying to help justify it :barf:

That is the attitude that people have in the San Fransisco Bay Area. "It is just a write off." "Who cares if people steal a few things."

Lots of stores closed down and are in the process of fleeing the area. The average retail shrinkage in the country is 1.6%. Retailers try to get that below 1%. When the laws and society itself thinks that theft is OK, then that number can skyrocket. Businesses cannot stay open when they lose 10%+ of their inventory to theft. The usual people came out calling it corporate greed and racism.

Apparently enough people care in California, which led to Proposition 36 being passed last December.

Proposition 36, one of this year’s most high-profile and divisive ballot measures in California, has been approved by voters with overwhelming support.

The law will enact harsher penalties for repeat theft and drug crimes, which were eased a decade ago through the passage of Proposition 47.

Yup. Eventually enough people figure out that we were mislead by prop 47 and the voters undid the mistake last November. It is too late for the stores already closed and much of the bay area is still a **** hole.

Little thefts add up. Lawlessness leads to an environment where it is impossible to do business. That is where the attitude of stealing is permissible leads.

San Francisco WalGreens was robbed 20 times a day.

Seems to be a lot of that going around.
