The one that gets me the most is the Billet Labs copper water cooler... Like holy shit how big of an asshole do you have to be to NOT return to them what you agreed to return, and then to just auction it off
It's so idiotic that it can't be malice.
It's just Linus overworking his employees.
I think anyone working in a bad company can tell you that people just stopped to care
LTT's response was that they did not sell it, they auctioned it. As if that somehow makes it better?

They also made it seem like they had already come to an agreement on compensation but they clearly did not until after GN's video and even after they had made their own claim.
We didn't sell it, we just sold it. Dude knows what an auction is.
Excuses and spin. Nobody claimed they sold it, just that they didn't return property that didn't belong to them.
I keep trying to be charitable and think of it in an "incompetence rather than malice" way, but Linus lying, twisting and tripling down isn't making it easy.
