He's probably right though. In 25 years on the RPF I've never seen anyone successfully bring mail-fraud, small claims or any other legal claims in a case like this, and, believe me, many have tried going that route. It really, really sucks, but if you go back and check on the Steve Dymzo neuraliser debacle, that guy is still setting up companies and selling on Ebay, despite an extremely similar case to this one.
