Nothing at all.

But Lightspeed doesn't have sufficient evidence to prove the people he is sending the quasi-blackmail letters to are the "little fucks responsible".

This is the issue I have. And a judge in England agreed with me:

ACS:Law have been playing this blackmail game for about 5 years in the UK. Not a single case has gone to court, until recently. The lawyers trying to pull this trick Lightspeed has 'borrowed' had their case thrown out of court by the judge and are now facing a committee hearing in March where it seems likely they will be disbarred. I know this is in England, but I reckon the American legal system isn't far behind.

Hope that helps clarify things.
