-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 The money you paid LL wasn't for the sim, it was for the L$ you gave to the guy that actually paid real dollars for sim directly to LL. You gave away your game money, it's not LL's fault that you choose to do busyness with someone that couldn't be trusted. Did you had a contract where the guy promised to keep offering stuff for you to sublocate from him? I wouldn't expect you do, and i'm pretty sure you don't have a contract where LL promises to fill in for your landlord if he goes away.
There are situations where LL disrespects their customers, but your landlord deciding to not rent a sim from LL anymore certainly isn't one of them.
