‘He presented his frivolous case under a pseudonym. What you don’t say in your recent statement is that my firm sent your attorney a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim and that victim never demanded a cent from you.

‘His conduct has had the opposite impact. She is emboldened. I am very proud of your determination. As to the allegations contained in the filed complaint, we will let the filing speak for itself and will litigate the facts in court, not in the media.’
