Last I had heard, he had left, but they had refused to sign his adsense over to him. I've been keeping an eye out for more news about it, but haven't seen anything. It was probably a stupid move on RWJ's part to go blogging/vlogging about it in the first place (risk of defamation suits and such). I imagine now that they've both gotten lawyers involved, they're probably not too keen to make public statements about it.

Yeah, that's true. But I'd still be surprised to see RWJ follow up on the topic without legal counsel present (it's also not clear whether they verbally "agreed", or contractually "agreed", and what constitutes a verbal contract in this case, and blah blah blah).

I think he was under contract until 2013 even though he left, that's why they wouldn't give him back his adsense account. I think that he has his adsense account back now that it is the new year, so I think it's all good for Ray now at least.
