According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live… Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they’ve already made the deal on compensation.
Also found odd that suddenly they already had things settled.
I mean, it sounds like this was known-ish and Billet had been reaching out to them repeatedly. It is not at all strange that a cock-up of this magnitude would have been solved some time in the two or three weeks since LTX.
Which is why it is even more wild that only the published video got LMG to respond to an industry contact asking for their shit back.
If I was a smaller brand I’d avoid to send shit to LMG now. This was a massive fuck up and would never happen with ASUS or Noctua.
