Unbelievable. This guy destroyed his company and made himself essentially unemployable in the gaming industry over an email exchange regarding a delay in the delivery of a new product. Wow. Just wow.   Ocean Marketing: How to self-destruct your company with just a few measly emails | VentureBeat |

They got a $20k grant to move it to production... which... $20k is not a lot for something like this).
For what it's worth, I didn't read that link but if it's like all the others from yesterday, it's got some language used in it, so it may be "NSFW".

I strongly suspect drugs; especially, with the comment about his friend OD-ing.

The "Ocean Marketing" guy's emails made it look to me like he thought he was hot sh, all arrogant and whatnot and when he got called out on it he fell apart. Unfortunately I know some people like that.

A man with the same name living in the same area was charged with domestic violence. An email sent by this fellow also traces back to a bodybuilding forum where the user seems to be admitting to using anabolic steroids. |

We dug deeper, and found he was a regular on a bodybuilding forum, where he was known for admitting his use of steroids, and defending their use quite fiercely! |

With the Avenger Controller - the product he was representing actually taking a nosedive because of him - I cant see anyone sticking by this guy out of fear of his rep bringing their interests down as well.
