So I've been out of the loop for a while, who is this and what the fuck happened?

Basically, Derek Smart created another space game a while back and now seems to think that every idea in the genre belongs to him.
He was sending messages to CIG claiming that they were stealing his concepts and work, yadda, yadda then he started writing articles about how Star Citizen is clearly going to be a failure yadda yadda and using Star Citizen as a platform to promote his own game.
He then started threatening to take CIG to court because they were taking too long with delivering updates so CIG just got sick of him and refunded his Kickstarter pledge (as per the terms in conditions) which made him even more butthurt about it.
Now he's threatening to take them to court for defamation.
