The guy I spoke with suggested a John Doe suit in federal court. Unfortunately he wanted $10k to get from initial filing through subpoenas then evidently the defendant has the right to fight the subpoenas and the subpoenaed entities have 2-3 weeks to comply ... and eventually it'd be /possible/ that we wouldn't get the identity (but likely that we would).

Anyway, the $10k number was the real sticking point and wasn't anywhere near the identity bounty IF you could even get everyone who claimed they'd donate to do it.

Basically I'm out of ideas. Unless someone else has gotten better figures from another attorney or we get Reddit to donate Jamaican Bobsled Team-style to the cause, we're probably SOL.
