If this all works out and EHG does indeed get his scope back, it fills me with good vibes and Christmas Cheer to the quality of people who have stepped forward to help out.

The downside is this dipchit has likely been ripping people off since 3rd grade and threats via-computer screen, phone calls, etc.. aren't going to make him stop. I'm sure he has had dozens, if not hundreds of people threaten to bust him up. Being punished by the law is what needs to happen. I know it is difficult, but is there anyway charges can be brought against him? I know it is probably a pain in the azz with state lines and red tape, but it needs to happen.

And as much fun as it would be to see him forced to take a ride out to the hills, that is probably going to cause the "enforcers" a bunch of trouble while he ends up being the victim.
