Sucks that someone trying to conduct decent business has to experience this. Reality is a lot of funders are going broke right now and just trying to maintain. Doesn't give them a right to rip anyone off though (allegedly) but instead of airing it out have a convo with the owners? I don't see how this can just happen. Don't you have an ISO agreement? Hate to say it but take them to court if you have to.
