#4> They insisted I never talk to any LEO
Nothing wrong with this ...
>PTR records, Enabling Spam
Doesn't say why that's illegal. At best it says they had customers that broke the law.
>Often both the CEO and Vice President would talk openly about how one of our clients was violating the TOS of several companies.
Not criminal even for the client, at least assuming the HiQ v Linkedin case is upheld. And not illegal for the company. Maybe civil liability under tortious interference? Pretty high bar there, though. And that's all assuming there's an actual ToS - the one example given is of Google search results. Manipulating your own website in the hopes Google treats it favorably can't be seen as violating any agreed ToS.
The stuff Micfo was accused of in court, and the stuff OP is claiming are criminal acts, are disjoint.

The chocolate wasn't great, but it's more than any of our other providers have mailed us :).

Did you see the part at the top where the CEO admitted to being all of those "customers"? They were playing a shell game, and while this guy didn't do the criminal activities he definitely was working for the "legitimate front end" of a larger criminal organization.

"Within a week I was convinced Micfo encompassed more than just Micfo, but a handful of shell companies:
This was later proved to be true when the CEO(Amir), admitted in the ARIN(American Registry for Internet Numbers) trial, he was really behind these entities."

As far as I can tell, those shell companies were to get additional IP addresses out of ARIN. It's not been alleged that they were customers of Micfo running spamming etc services, by anyone except you.
