Max downside if he gets sued: What? 50k before he declares bankruptcy?
Ok, so risk adjusted cost of the "just fucking sue me" approach: $500.
$500 vs. $350,000...hmmm...tough choice.
You might say, well, it's not as though it's one or the other. You can request reasonable changes and not jeopardize the 350k.
Well, ya, I suppose so, but what are the odds that any request you make will kill the deal? If it's also 1%, then the expected cost is $3500.
That's still more expensive than the "just fucking sue me" approach. In reality, the odds of killing a deal over contract disagreements are much higher than getting sued.
Put another way:
Odds of getting sued: 1%
