Given the fact that they took the time to write a formal complaint in clay (something that’s expensive to do in the ancient world), it’s indeed likely that his copper was shitty:
“He sold low grade copper disguised as premium grade. He is a man of low repute, a copper dealer with questionable ethics, who cheats people out of their money.”
Or you know, just imagine that review on Amazon with 1/5 stars and way more expletives.
And we’ll never know if his copper really was shitty.
