Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirms Rule 11 sanctions against Evan Stone of Texas.
Stone committed those violations as an attempt to repeat his strategy of suing anonymous internet users for allegedly downloading pornography illegally, using the powers of the court to find their identity, then shaming or intimidating them into settling for thousands of dollars – a tactic that he has employed all across the state and that has been replicated by others across the country.
