Bob never said that.  Yes, RLB was investigated.  Coincidental to that
same investigation, he stopped selling monitoring services.  What he
does now is provide a link to a third party monitoring agency for anyone
interested in having that done.  He used to contract for those services
directly.  He will, of course, deny that discontinuing this recurring
revenue stream had anything to do with the Florida Attorney General's
investigation.  He will instead insist that the whole idea wasn't
generating the "income stream" he expected (or some such nonsense).

There isn't a single alarm company that I know of that "tripple prices"
equipment (unless of course you're referring to an *installed* price
rather than a price for just the equipment).
