I mean, I'm certainly not accusing anyone of anything malicious here, but had I personally been in Doc Sands situation:
As soon as the guy said "if I could give my chips to anyone, I'd love for it to be you", I would have politely, yet very CLEARLY informed him that purposely dumping chips to him is against the rules AND frowned upon.
Beyond that, play poker. If he knows the guy is playing literally ATC, his line seems optimal and he should absolutely try to get his chips. If he doesn't, someone else will and I'm sure Doc Sands being Doc Sands doesn't pass on many spots.

Yea, this.
