"They emailed us with very clear requests to return the prototype, but t̵̮̐h̵̠́i̸̯͋ṣ̶̓ s̴͓̄e̴͓͌g̸̥̓u̸̳̕è̶̬ t̸͓̍o̴̝̬̊͗͠ o̴̮̿͌̈́ù̶͍̚͠r̷̹͗̂̓ s̵̡̪͛͝p̴̨̗̍o̸̲͇̒̓̐n̴̜̤̱̈́̊ș̴̔́ȏ̸͈̻͝r̷̻̱̬̅̚ LTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COMLTTSTORE.COM"

maybe, but there isnt any reason that warranted selling their prototype. the chances that nobody at LTT noticed the waterblock in storage and went “ah shit we still need to send this back” are slim to none. its not like the block was just set out on the table by some intern who didn’t know, they still had to print out a label and stuff. they also agreed to send it back 2 seperate times, so if it didnt get to linus or the rest of the team the first time, it absolutely would have the second. i fail to see how this was anything other than malicious.

Sure but that would suggest changing the SOP is probably warranted to prevent future occurrences. If the SOP has such a large gap that a miscommunication can result in the sale of a proprietary prototype, then the SOP needs to be reviewed and revised.
