If all your talking about is someone abusing proxy.org's system to produce click fraud you are going to probably have a hard time in court service providers are usually not held liable for what users do.
You are missing the point here. It is not natural traffic. Google has some very complex algorithms that filter out proxy clicks. At the end of the day EVERY advertiser has "non-human" clicks that originated from proxy.org.

I am convinced that this will result in a civil action in my favor. I cannot speak to what will happen from Google's side of the fence, but I can imagine that they will aggressively pursue action since they have been loosing thousands a day to this scheme. I also have no idea what the criminal investigation will turn, but I know that local LE and the FBI are involved.
