> what more do you want from the guy?

He's a guy who writes about hacks. He got "hacked". At the very least I am curious to know more of the story.

If you can call it that. Seems more like a convenient excuse.

He was duped by a con man. Everyone is susceptible to SE, even smart guys like Brian. A case can be made that it is the most difficult challenge/vector in cyber security.

Seems more like he was willfully played and that Ubiquiti lawyers can show negligence on his part which would not be a good look for a security researcher.
