It's a little bit worse than that. They kinda trashed Billet Labs and then went ahead and put the prototype water block on auction at their expo they did a couple weeks ago, LTX. So not only did they lose the graphics card that Billet sent them, they used it on a wrong card and then instead of returning the prototype, they put it up for sale possibly to a competitor. Complete idiocy or insanely scummy move.

There have also been some serious workplace toxicity and harassment allegations publicly aired by a former employee, Madison.

Colin said in his tweet that the prototype sale "has an element of occam's razor" (he really means Hanlon's razor). So it would seem to be the former.

However Linus's reaction to the incident was the latter. He should have put his company on the line, bought it back at whatever ridiculous price would have convinced the buyer, and sent it back all expenses paid to Billet Labs. That's how you own a fuck-up.
