Here is the post from Billet Labs themselves where they verify that they only asked for the cooler back after the video had been released: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/18d6m3u/deleted_by_user/kcfmcnz/
Now, i’m not saying that LTT didn’t do Billet Lbs dirty in regards to this whole situation.
They did not test the cooler correctly, and Linus was less than resonable in regards to retesting and such (something he has adressed himself here: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1526180-gamers-nexus-alleges-lmg-has-insufficient-ethics-and-integrity/page/16/#comment-16078641 ).
But people keep hanging up that they sold when they were supposed to send it back, when there was no such agreement beforehand.
You block then investigate yes.
Just like every other company in existence does it, since the first thing you want to do is stop continued spread/misuse.
