So I think the issue here is with the US. The evidence disproving the blackmail was in the form of a recorded phone call. In Canada that is perfectly legal but in the US there needs to be consent or it’s inadmissible in court.
I’d provide links but I don’t have time at the moment and honestly don’t want to go back to Reddit to find them but the main post was on the Apollo subreddit. If it still exists it shouldn’t be difficult to find. It even included full downloads of the phone call.
Edit: worth saying I don’t believe the creator of Apollo intends to sue so this is all hypothetical on our behalf.
In the united states as far as I understand federal law says all you need is one party consent so as long as one person on the call consents to being recorded it’s fully allowed. Unless you aren’t part of the conversation it would be fully legal and allowed to be evidence. I’m not super familiar with this blackmail case but majority of the states and federally it would be completely legal to record conversations and use them in court as long as one person consented to recording
