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.
I've been eyeing their screwdriver for a while, but I don't want to give Linus my money after seeing this... Wanna sell it to me? I don't care if it has any minor damage from regular use.
Edit: After the whole Madison thing, it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth... Nevermind the screwdriver, I'll just buy a megapro or something...
