Hypothetical question

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

VC demanding 2x liquidation preference. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Quick tip on registered agents: don't use your home address. It becomes public record and you'll get junk mail forever. A registered agent service costs $50-150/year and keeps your address private.
