* Get a lawyer (that is not his lawyer)
* Fire him (after talking to your lawyer, so check all the details)
* Was he hired in 2020 or in 2014? Make a giant sign that says "4 Years with a 1-Year Cliff"

If he decides to sue, _then_ you can get a lawyer. But IMO it's just a waste of money otherwise... do you need a lawyer every time a crazy person does something delusional?
You definitely need to fire him though. And if you don't want to take over operations, then you either need to find someone else who does, or go along with this crazy guy's plan (because otherwise _nobody_ would run the company right?).
