The chief partners of Prenda Law, Paul Hansmeier and John Steele, have been arrested and charged with operating a “porn-trolling” “multi-million dollar extortion scheme.”
These jerks would post free porn on file sharing sites then track down those that downloaded their junk and threaten them with public exposure if they didn’t pay a $4,000 for illegal downloading. They purposely set the settlement demand below what it would cost to hire a lawyer and defend one’s self against the lawsuit.
These guys are so notorious that they have their own Wikipedia page Here
So? Was the problem that they did what every police department with more than two members has done since seizure laws? Or that they were keeping most of the money for themselves, instead of their muscle?
Lawyers and Chicago. Say no more.

These lawyers need to jump on “the Russians did it” band wagon quickly. That Vlad Putim – he really gets around.
lawyer = LIAR
That’s two low life riff raff lawyers down another million or so to go!
They’ll end up with a few extra holes in their heads if they continue.

Does this mean that I can get my money back?
