I wonder if he is here, but I was under the impression this dude was/is Bahraini or Emirati. I wonder what kind of legal pressure they could seriously impose, seeing as few in the GCC would care (locals routinley do not even show up for criminal legal proceedings, so I am skeptical).

Now, could there be side channels they would use to pressure and bully him into giving up? Sure. But I would love to hear more from this venomous developer.
