In the UK, where we pioneered this whole extortion scam, they lawyers are facing being barred and have gone bankrupt.
They have no evidence. They have an IP address. This has already been ruled in the US as not evidence.
They don't want to go to trial.
They just want to get as much money as possible. Lightspeed even called it his retirement fund.
I wish it had something to do with trying to curb piracy, but I don't believe it has. Certainly the cases in the UK, after the companies emails were made public, it was VERY CLEAR they were just cunts trying to scam people.
It's a revenue generator.
