in Greg's defence (spoilers)

If you were to make this film from Greg's point of view, Seth could very easily be cast as the villain. Greg gets him the job there, takes him under his wing, and Seth repays him by cosying up to Vin Diesel, to the point where he puts Greg's job on the line by doing his own recco because he wanted to win Vin Diesel's approval; and worst of all getting with Greg's ex, which is borderline behaviour at the best of times, never mind when Greg specifically asked him to stay away from her. Twice.
And then to cap it all Seth turns rat and gets the entire company taken down.

tldr - Seth broke the bro code bigtime. I am on Greg's team.

No

Greg did not just hand him the job.

He became friends with Vin because he was willing to teach him Greg had no interest in that he just wanted people below him doing the work which he would profit off.

That Recco was number 40 as it was explained most of the other people allowed that for number 40 but Greg didnt like it he was very insecure person who was weak but he could show he was tough against Seth.

Greg was not in relationship with Abi anymore fairly early in the film it's shown go watch it again its when he buys her a gift she rejects it its close to when Seth has introduction to the company yet he keeps saying to Seth stay away (He has no right to do so)

Are you another person who has a had a limited life I know many people who have hooked up with others ex.

FBI was already on to the company they had Abi but Seth had figured out how the whole thing worked also how they was getting around things which Abi/FBI didn't know. (Only 2 people knew 3 with Seth)

The company was illegal they was ripping people off so you think that is fine is it it's no different to if say one of your parents gets a phone call about winning a prize or making out they are bank and they take your money or identity.
