Warning: he may try to go after your suppliers next. Make sure you have two or three sources for everything, and keep your noses clean. Strictly legal sources only. Your consultants, too--he may try to lean on your packaging designer, for instance.
I'm dead sorry. That stinks! But there's something to be said for building an owl order network, so you'll have multiple streams of income to fall back on.
