Very interesting. Why would you send some junior engineer to have this chat over Discord? It seems like all he accomplished was confessing to violating Discord's ToS and saying "yeah well I'm gonna sic the lawyers on you". Why not just sent the lawyers directly? It almost sounds like "legal told us not to go after you guys, but I personally really want to" at this point. It just doesn't add up.
Since this is a Reddit thread, how would you "maliciously comply" with this guy? Convince him, someone who probably doesn't dot their Is and cross their Ts, that he successfully got your domain, then pull it out from under them in a few weeks? I can't think of anything, and it obviously doesn't seem like a good legal strategy, but if someone else did it I would sure enjoy reading about it.

Legal might have explored this possibility and found no viable path, so this employee (or his team) thought they could bully the creators into submission. They must have thought that bringing legal into the equation would have led the creators to lawyer up and prepare for a defence, which would not have been their desired outcome.
