We’ve had Sad Linus, but what about Meth Linus?

I don’t follow this guy. Did he fuck up or something?

His crew has claimed many abuses (supposedly he has been absolved, I don't have knowledge of or an opinion on whether that's justified).

He stole a prototype of a product then sold it for profit ("What Happened Between Linus Tech Tips And Billet Labs?" on this page).

Also on that page are other allegations of which I was unaware, most of which (at a glance) seem to be about improperly testing and/or representing products. I particularly like the one about claiming a mouse was poor quality after he failed to remove a cover from the sensor.

edit: I've been informed that my understanding of the situation with the prototype may have been incorrect. Reading the thread below may clarify matters.

He was “absolved” by a company that he hired to investigate.

The situations mostly come down to he said/she said, so nothing for the company to find…

The result of the investigation was that there wasn’t any evidence, not disproving or proving the allegations
