As a Franchise Attorney I can say this. Whenever you are threatened with criminal prosecution, etc., the first thing to do is call a criminal law attorney. There is no way you can expect to obtain any other meaningful advice for a bulletin board like this, which is designed to answer simple, legal questions. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
