Since you saw the need to double down and admit to being involved in further cybercrimes I saw the need to repeat my advice posted in answer to your earlier question.

I am interested in creating a program that I started in college for a capstone class. In the capstone class I worked with a group and did research for the program but we never finished it or put it forward as a complete product. I am using some of the feedback we received from the version of the... Read more »
Ideas themselves are not patentable - they have to be put into use. If you alone write a program based on ideas developed by a group, then unless there was a contract or other agreement among the group or with the college, you own the copyright on the program, and are entitled to profit from the...

Our congregation is very unhappy with the Minister because he has not upheld the terms of the original contract he signed four years ago. He re-wrote his own contract, without input from the Board, and refuses to show it to Members of the congregation who have asked to see it.

But if the church is organized as an Ohio non-profit corporation, the members could take legal action to obtain access to the contract. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a... Read more »

Technically, nothing. But a business without someone at the helm is seriously endangered. I would suggest you all get together with the owner and a lawyer to ensure the business operations will pass on to someone trusted. Obviously, the boss here needs a lawyer for the criminal side too.

I understand that a police officer would be able to enter for law enforcement reasons, such as to break up a serious fight or to serve a warrant, regardless of what rules the business owner has.

an employee of my LLC and pay her as a site manager since it is a 4 bedroom unit and i will have at least 2 others paying rent?
It seems that if you paid her (a deduction) so that she could pay you rent (income), there would be some sort of wash there with the income offsetting the deductions.
