http://www.bizyellow.com/ looks at first view like a .NET app (.aspx) but after a closer look it's definitly a Ruby on Rails app.

If the people named in the complaint are executives of Hashrocket, then it has something to do with Hashrocket, however indirectly.
2) In the USA people are innocent until proven guilty
In the US criminal justice system, there is a presumption of innocence. That doesn't have much to do with whether one is actually guilty or innocent, in the USA or anywhere else.

Mark Smith funded and funds Hashrocket. Hashrocket isn't profitable without Mark Smith. If Obie had no knowledge of this scam then I feel sorry for him and this situation. I guess "The Rails Maturity Model", the Hashrocket Way and BizConf includes taking scam money and pretending to be profitable.
I do too.

Snarky, unnecessary, and unfounded.
This has nothing to do with Rails, and probably just as little with how Obie ran the company.

Or are going to say that it was not really an invoice, but an advertisement? In my opinion small business owners do not usually confuse an advertisement with an invoice, or otherwise they would not stay in business for long.
So if that person says it was an invoice, it probably looked like one.

http://isitrails.com/ says it's "very sure" that bizyellow.com is a Rails app.
I don't really care if a company wants to be "hip" or whatever, but title's like "Chief Morale Officer, in charge of alchohol and fun activities" just make you look like idiots.

seriously though, if you associate and start businesses with people who send fake invoices for deceptive services like this, you are probably a sleazeball.
even if you do have glamour shots of yourself all over your webpage.

I can't wait for Obie's next book, "The Jails Way" seriously though, if you associate and start businesses with people who send fake invoices for deceptive services like this, you are probably a sleazeball. even if you do have glamour shots of yourself all over your webpage.
