I agree with the majority. I didn’t see a direct threat just a cocky manager, I mean if an affiliate told me he was leaving due to my companies bad image I certainly wouldn’t say “hold on Im gunna have a cig” thats just bad business.
I think this is just a misunderstanding but instead of proving Cpays is shady it revealed a another problem, a manager that doesn’t really care, which is worse? Either way it doesn’t sound like a good relationship.
