    Thanks. Yeah sounds like a shitty situation and a shitty thing Linus did. I guess what I am trying to get across though is to me it still sounds like it wasn’t “official” in professional business terms.

    When I used to work in an office they were constantly going through legal battles. Nothing at all should be settled by voice and handshake. Official business ime is just as cut throat as street business. It’s crazy. I’ve seen both worlds and don’t really like either. Both feel so inhumane and evil.

    Hopefully Linus makes good of this and helps them out… Since he should know what it’s like for business to have growing pains.

      Good thing it was email :) And yes, I would consider emails exchanged between Colton and Billet Labs to be sufficient for court… Although I’m not a lawyer, and could be woefully wrong.

      I certainly hope LMG comes good on it at least financially. But I can’t help but wonder who the block was ultimately sold to and if that block won’t make it to another company who can beat the smaller company to market with their own design.

      If LMG is the reason this company can’t make it to market, when otherwise they would have been a great new component manufacturer… That hurts ALL of us in the community.
