He literally has no point - the video says as much too. It’s very much standard practice for rates to go up upon success & why shouldn’t it?

In this case they were paid hourly plus a percentage upon successfully closing the deal that they wouldn’t have been involved in had it not been for him.

He should have considered the possibility of that added expense on twitters books before trying to back out in a hopeless cause.
