If I'm reading most of these comments correctly it's that it doesn't matter if he was lied to, he should have known that this is how the world works.

"should have known" is what most of these comments are talking about. As a thought experiment assume he was lied to, most of these comments are talking about the ignorance and whether it was sincere. Was he this naive or is it easy to be this naive (i.e. self imposed ignorance) when there's a deal to be made.

I don't think any reasonable person thinks Luckey lied. They think he said something stupid, was called on it, and double-down.

Now that it has proven out as people expected, they're calling him out on it again. Perhaps other people will learn a lesson from it? I can hope.
