How did you get into the project? I’m assuming DEFCON contracted EE and you were contacted by someone later to write the firmware? Was that EE or DEFCON? And to whom did you deliver your firmware code/binaries during development? Did you deliver to EE while they were still contracted by DEFCON and to DEFCON directly after the stop work order?
Sorry for the many questions but you’re the only real source to get more info on this situation here.
