Rick gets unchanged
As the suit Reads the plaintiff’s objective To “seek compensation for illegitimate enrichment,” it may sound like an early investor missed out on success and is now embittered and desperate for a slice of the pie. Be that as it may, there are many other sides to the story of Mr. Burton’s niggle.
Actually, Rick too Claims emotional damage in his Twitter thread, explaining that “it’s hard to talk about even after 5 years.” While the legal documents may indicate that it is mostly about some pragmatic justice or simply unreturned money, Ric Burton’s statements on Twitter paint a different picture.

He never offered to reimburse me. He simply started ignoring me.
