Who fucken knows? If this were Kotaku or something, yeah, I'd tell them to kick rocks.
My rationale is that, at the very least, he could hold up receipts as to how they covered things. My (naive) belief is that someone, somewhere will eventually find this compelling enough to do an actual story (and not the sensationalist tripe that's been kicked around), but realistically, the odds are that no one is going to bother.
Which is why I said it's extra work that Null probably doesn't wanna deal with. I can respect that. Jumping through a ton of hoops with a small chance at any sort of payoff (that would be minimal) isn't worth from an effort/bullshit perspective and he could spend that time laughing at Sorrenti, touching grass, playing a video game, literally anything else.
