Porn copyright-trolling lawyer Paul Hansmeier, formerly of Prenda Law, is under investigation by the FBI [kstp.com] in connection with his many lawsuits alleging violating the rights of the disabled [arstechnica.com] to be served by businesses.

Specifically, the feds suspect that Mr. Hansmeier used the nonprofit organization the Disability Support Alliance (which he created) [cbslocal.com] to enrich himself.

Hansmeier and former partner John L. Steele were indicted in December 2016 [washingtonpost.com] on federal fraud and perjury charges for Prenda Law's porn-trolling scheme.
