I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that this would be a civil
action for money. Vince would need to prove a financial loss - tricky.
Also, when you get into lawsuits the rule is that the big guy wins.
They could just delay things and force Vince to spend more and more
money until he simply couldn't afford to pursue it any longer.

This is excellent advice. We have been on the receiving end of one
of these and I can confirm that we shaped up pretty damn fast. (A
