You are right. There are always multiple sides and stories for the same situation. It is perfectly possible that it could be that way, and I wish it was that way because then it would only be a money issue, which could (in theory) be rationally resolved. Things that somehow contradict that, is how unwilling to resolve the issue the investor has been. The company was profitable at the time he ended his contract and called the note. At that time he said he didn't care about his note, that he'd just write it off as a loss and he'd get 50% back in taxes. He could also have gotten his money back by taking a payment plan. Additionally we offered up the assets as payment so we could avoid bankruptcy, but he refused. Then he abandoned the assets after acquiring them in bankruptcy. To me it doesn't make any sense, but I hope you are right, that this is only about his money and that we can somehow reach an agreement that puts a definitive end to this mess.
