ET:
If you have his phone number I can tell you how to get his address AND any piece of personal information that he has in ANY searchable database. It will cost you another $20- but I think you are already all in anyway (and the search engine is perfectly legal)
BTW, here is the definition of extortion from Wickipedia:
Extortion, outwresting, or exaction is a criminal offense, which occurs, when a person unlawfully obtains either money, property or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence or a lawsuit which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence or lawsuit is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the unlawful demanding and obtaining of something through force,[1] additionally, exact in its formal definition means the infliction of something such as pain and suffering or to make somebody endure something unpleasant.[2]
In the United States, extortion may also be committed as a federal crime across a computer system, phone, by mail or in using any instrument of "interstate commerce." Extortion requires that the individual sent the message "willingly" and "knowingly" as elements of the crime. The message only has to be sent (but does not have to reach the intended recipient) to commit the crime of extortion.
Read the first sentence; you could make the case that he is attempting to obtain money from you by using failure to ship the manifold as a form of coercion. It does not have to be violance to meet the definition above.
Long story short, Mr Renzetti should send you the manifold, because if you really want to make an example of him you can go after him.
