Troll Tracker's Identity Revealed :(

February 24, 2008 12:14 PM by Stephan Kinsella | Other posts by Stephan Kinsella | Comments (2)

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!
