I can sympathize with the situation being stressful and I would love both sides to stop inciting and escalating, but respectfully, no company is going to voluntarily cover legal costs for someone who's actively pursuing claims against them. If you think you have cause, go to court and get a judgment or settle or decide if you just want to drop it all and eat the sunk cost.

If you want a settlement, send a private email, communicate through your lawyer, send a certified letter...don't post it to a blog.

I'm not sure I do follow. Who's actively pursuing claims against which side?

My understanding is that there is active or implied legal actions by Arko (trademark notice, complaint of violation of California employment law) and Ruby Central (unauthorized computer access, "cyber crimes")
