Troll Tracker's Identity Revealed :(

February 24, 2008 12:14 PM by Stephan Kinsella (Archive)

I posted previously about patent attorney Ray Niro threatening to sue the anonymous Troll Tracker (who repeatedly highlighted various patent lawsuits Niro was filing) for violating a patent by putting JPG images on his site (yep), and creepily offering a bounty to reveal Troll Tracker's identity (Troll Tracker [Why People Hate Lawyers]). Looks like Niro's ploy finally worked--it's an in-house patent attorney at Cisco, Rick Frenkel. Keep up the good work, Rick!

    Here is hoping that Troll Tracker knew he'd be discovered eventually, and anonymously turned himself in to collect the reward. Adverse selection doesn't have to be a bad thing.

    Wow, Stephan_Kinsella, that Ray Niro sure is one crazy guy. He acted toward Troll Tracker ... well, exactly like you acted toward me before you knew my identity!
