His letter explains that he wasn't selling tooling because he feared downstream liability.

...which utter nonsense. Terms of sale include zero liability. Done, solved.

No, this man was just petulant that after decades of not following employment/environmental/fire regulations, he was finally being held to them...and his answer was to burn everything to the ground out of petulance.

Dude, if I sell contaminated goods to person B, person B can sign a release that they won't sue me... but they can't promise that person C or government D won't.

Even if they indemnify me, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm off the hook.
