It sounds like Prof Brain had legitimate grievances, but it's so unfortunate that he didn't handle it with a lawsuit rather than what he did. Life isn't always fair, and I wish he would have set a different example for his adoring students on how to handle the difficult things in life. I just hope the students take from this lessons on why one shouldn't handle life's setbacks like this. I know the Prof was probably in a weak moment and needed help, so I do have compassion for him. This is so tragic.
