Which is beside the point. It is very well possible to rip someone of
and in the mean time have a contract that makes ripping that person of,
legal.

It is also possible one behaves in a way similar as if ripping
others off, but that your "victims" are lucky and don't experience
a bad outcome (yet).

I know you are getting off insinuating hate of those who dare to
critisize Nikos harshly, but take it elsewhere.
