Again, it's the pursuers responsibility to prove damages.
Pro se and wait.
And the dev might have to pay a lawyer to defend himself in court while the company tries to prove their point.
Sure, he might get it back. Maybe. But he also would likely end up in debt defending himself, even if there's no real merit to the case.
taking pro se forces the company to provide evidence and pay for lawyers while you just wait for their case to build, if they don't have a case, then there's no problem, if it gets to trial they have to prove damages, since there aren't any, that will be difficult to prove.
Taking pro se is not recommended in most situations but in this one, where the damages are entirely made up, taking pro se would not be overly tumultuous
