[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 4968436, member: 2732"] You can read the settlement in the documents I attached. From what I've seen, both of the defendants who settled are over 18. I believe Arthur Le confessed to that. I didn't see an age for Mr. Nolan, but I don't think you can represent yourself pro se if you are a minor, though an attorney can correct me. This was a suit under 17 USC 504, which is a civil case, not the criminal section. And--this is very important--look at the large document at the end of the file. This is for the "default judgement" against Mike Becker. They line-list all the attorney fees, and--they actually have a print-out thread from RPTools, where Mike actually makes statements incriminating himself. This is why I cautioned the defendant from Poland to not discuss things publically. The guy was posting as Humble Apostle, and the lawyers were savvy enough to identify him as that user. (I'll bet they have a printout of evidence from EnWorld regarding the Polish user). The guy may have tried to hide by "not responding", but I have a feeling the legal team will be allowed to get collection agencies after the guy. ETA: I just attached the PDF in question to this message. [/QUOTE]
