No surprise here I hope he gets more than the 6%. Get fucking 100%. Stole his work and told him to fuck off.

They didn't steal anything. He wrote a non-fiction account of a historical event. The Apple TV+ movie is a somewhat fictionalized account of a historical event with the direct support of the primary people actually involved. They don't owe him a penny. At most his contribution is an inspiration that, hey, this could make a great movie, which isn't worth any money.
