I hope the subpoena me. I can use their money better than they do and if
they drag me into court I intend to get some of their money.

None of their business. Invasion of privacy. It's like accusing me of
stealing ketchup because I bought a hamburger. I prefer a good salsa. And
who's to say I don't carry my own catsup around with me :).

They have to have reasonable cause before they can do anything. Buying a
naked box is very, very far from reasonable cause. Unfortunately others
might not believe it. 'Supieriority through litigation', yeah, whatever.
