I'm stunned by this.

How is this even legal? The youtuber got the packs from the company through a logistical error, didn't sign an NDA or embargo agreement, and gets armed mercenaries at his door for 'leaking' when the company did.

This it's some criminal level of intimidation, something you expect from a gangster or a cyberpunk dystopia where companies bypass the state establishing arbitrary punishment for internal rules you didn't sing on.

I hope this guy lawyer up, and get as much as possible from them.

Why a company with the minimum brand awareness thought this was a good idea, it's still beyond me.
