Nothing at all should be settled by voice and handshake.

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.

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

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.
