For the millionth time, the BSA could have filed criminal charges in this case. The dollar amounts were sufficient to warrant criminal prosecution. In my personal opinion, I think it met the bar. But that's solely my opinion -- and it's irrelevant, in any case, since the BSA went the civil route.

From what I understand, in many states, offering to refrain from prosecuting someone for committing a crime in exchange for payment substantially beyond bare restitution is called extortion, and is itself a criminal offense.

BSA is a protection racket.

So why are you whining? Sue them.
