This is being dealt with the wrong way and completely unprofessionally, i am your biggest fan but this is wrong. Ive gave you my word that it can be sorted amicably but this way can only end one way! Think Daniel Micay: Yes, they paid for a product which included a commitment to protecting them from the fallout from a situation like this. I had an obligation / commitment to protect those signing keys at all costs and to destroy them if I felt they were at risk of compromise which I certainly do. </li> <li><a title="Actual Email - Daniel Fired" rel="nofollow" href="https://paste.xinu.at/QIWIC7/">Actual Email - Daniel Fired</a></li> <li><a title="CopperheadOS is undergoing a company takeover | Hacker News" rel="nofollow" href="https://yegortimoshenko.gitlab.io/copperhead-takeover/hackernews-1/">CopperheadOS is undergoing a company takeover | Hacker News</a></li> <li> <a title="Fix It Clean Auto Service (Indianapolis)" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fixitclean.com">Fix It Clean Auto Service (Indianapolis)</a> — Fix It Clean has experience at an affordable price!
