    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.
