Technically nothing illegal happening here. I mean he's a shithead by the sound of it, but year of highschool left = 17 or 18, quite likely 18 since it's summer right now. 18 year olds you can hire for 40 hour weeks even. Younger teenagers, fewer hours, but legal.

How do I know this? This shithead is from my country, at least according to his name. You don't see the letter 'ü' in a lot of American names, do ya

Quick google says that 2 years ago he was still an intern. He's probably something like 22, 23 himself. Working for multiple startups, at one of which he's the CEO. He's either hustling big time and will burn out soon, or he's only pretending to do anything, and will fizzle out anyway.

Edit: Never mind, he's 24. Q2, the company he runs with his friends paid 2k EUR in labor taxes, average monthly turnover is 3k. Sounds like they're selling ChatGPT consulting services to someone, but just one client lol
