Possible, but not likely. It is entirely possible he is responsible for the glue to set up HD. Even if he gets a settlement out of court, the attorney will get the lions share of that. HD probably did nothing criminal because it was not intentional. Only the outrageous successful suits get the headlines,99% of these just go away or are unsuccessful.
The news today is he's suing for 3 million.
And...
Someone else has come forward and is saying this isn't the first time this guy has claimed he was glued to a toilet seat.
Oops...
A little jail time in his future?
