It was a cancelled check... NO value, except for security.

He did right, they did more than obligated.

It wasn’t cancelled, it was « crossed ». In Europe that means it can only be paid to the person or entity mentioned on the check, i e., it can’t be endorsed over to someone else. So only Haribo could cash the check.

I agree they had no legal obligation to pay him anything, but a nice gesture might have been to send him a case of the stuff. It would have made good publicity’ too.
