It still shocks me that after the dumbest thing someone could do, the next thing they do is go to the people he fucked to ask for money to undo the original dumb thing. It makes absolutely no sense.
Rick knows he's gonna lose his ass, so this cost plus trouble figure is bullshit. He'd take 75% of what he paid cause he knows he's up shit creek with this thing.
Here's an idea. YOU give him whatever money HE paid for the thing, and after that you sell the site to an OG for $100, so it can be in the hands of someone we trust.
