    The one who steals prototype liquid coolers, fucks up installation, and slanders their manufacturers

      Oh yeah, and disallowing employees from discussing their income, I think was another one.

      Lots of anti-union behavior.

        Im very happy to see people aren’t downplaying what a shitty guy he is here.

        Like the way you treat your employees and the people you work with is shit that actually matters.

        I don’t give a shit if someone is clumsy for entertainment, I give a shit when their workspace is a good ol boys club, sweatshop, and then when they decide to threaten a defamation lawsuit against a former female employee they brought in under very suspect circumstances in the first place all because they couldn’t find evidence within their company they admit has an awful HR department.

        Just a fucking mess, and I hate that shitty people just succeed nowadays.

          “brought in under suspect circumstances”

          Genuinely curious at what you’re hinting at here. I thought I was fairly familiar with the story, but I thought that employee was mostly brought in because she was popular with viewers, is there something more sinister there too?

            Its been a while so my memory is hazy, but basically, she recently lost her support systems and was brought to a new country where she basically couldn’t afford to lose that job. This adds a lot of context to her statements after when combined with other details about the company. Hopefully someone else remembers better, because Im sure there was something more sketchy about it Im failing to remember.

      That’s what most people took away from the drama. No one looked into it later to find out was made up because that’s no longer interesting. As is usually the case with Internet drama.

      (Emails eventually came out showing Billet Labs told them to keep the cooler, and then lied about it)

        Which is why LTT made a monetized apology video saying it was an accident and they had intended to return it, right? A video in which they leaked a private phone number related to Billet Labs, might I add.

        The person you responded to provided a simplified explanation. You, on the other hand, have provided one that is false.

        Billet Labs initially stated that they could keep it, yes, but after the ridiculous, defamatory review performed on the entirely wrong hardware, they requested it back, which LMG agreed to provide prior to selling it at auction.

          Yes, once Billet changed their mind after not liking the review, they mistakenly sold it and paid them back.

            What are you saying was made up?

            Billet gave them the prototype because they thought they were going to make use of it. They installed it wrong/on the wrong card and then shat all over the product. Billet asked for it back if they weren’t planning on using it further as it was an expensive prototype and they agreed.
