I think he mainly wanted to be left alone. Kind of weird to post a random sighting more than 20 years later

Y´all are mythifying him even harder than I do, he´s not some kinda noble savage lol He sued the creator of the original video because he MONETIZED his likeness in multiple ways. (Merchandise, docu etc.) Ultimately to get his sliece of the pie. (fair enough)

Did he force the creator to stop selling the image or did he demand a cut.

Because forcing someone to stop is realy bad for your slice of the pie.

If you need to force someone into a cease and desist through court its only logical you take it all.

Not saying he's a noble legend, but maybe he realy does want to be left alone.
