The Aftermath

Scott believes that the Sharks were intentionally 'baiting' him the entire time he was being filmed. Due to the contract fine print, just one mention of the brand SCOTTeVEST would have triggered a clause in the contract and forced Scott to give the Sharks 5% equity or 2% of the profits of SCOTTeVEST. So, he walked away from a deal with the Sharks when it became apparent they were only interested in SCOTTeVEST.



Some people praised Scott for standing up to the Sharks and for keeping his head on his shoulders. Others criticized him, saying that it was all a publicity stunt or that he was disrespectful and a "patent troll." Several major blogs reported on Scott's performance, including Tech Crunch, Gear Dairy, and the "official" Shark Tank Blog.
