I know a lot of people were super excited about seeing this happen but it looks enough frustrations eventually killed the thread. Whatever, 100% of the idea was mine, the last iteration I made had the edges to be exactly the same as the what I created and I have no doubt EVO-R reached out to that person that gave him the CAD Model. In the end, life is unfair.

If you were to ask anyone, I think that emblem looks 99% like the one I did through CAD.
This is what AGStacker made for his prototype, I sent him a couple of different models and who knows how many people he forwarded it to. This is what he made for himself and never gave me one.

I perused the thread earlier and get the gist of what happened. And I understand your frustration as you obviously spent a lot of time developing the concept. I'm just not convinced that EVO-R didn't come up with the idea independently. As I said before there's really only two logical ways to rework the burger emblems, one being with a Z that spans the circle and another that integrates the Z logo into a strip running across the middle. Without the benefit of this thread (or AGStacker's previous one) if I was to sit down one day blindly and decide to remake my emblems myself it would almost certainly take on one of these two concepts and would most likely end up looking remarkably similar to your designs, though perhaps not quite with your attention to detail.
That is what I ultimately think happened. The design follows your design aesthetic but clearly does not come from your CAD model so personally I don't think AGStacker shopped it out. I know it still sucks on your end but I don't think anyone was out to steal or profit from your ideas.
