A few words of caution...I wouldn't tell him that you can play nicely or play hardball. This will set him off and he will then be even more determined on his mlc walk through the wild side and could possibly destroy the company (just to prove his point that he is "entitled to do whatever he wants"). Turn it over to your lawyer.
I would suggest that you just advise your lawyer of everything and let him do what he is being paid to do. I also want to point out that mlcers don't listen to lawyers very well either. They view them, as as they view us, as authority figures.
You've been more than fair and nice to your h, time to take it to next level and whatever you do, do not show him your hand of cards...some actions need to be play close to the vest and this is one of them.
I'm very sorry he is acting this way.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
