From what I understand, the FBI will confiscate the host machine as
evidence. Very stupid, sort of like evicting you from your home after a
break in. You next best bet is to contact AOL and present them with
evidence that their user committed malfeasance.

If that doesn't work, then you have two options in my radical and
rebellious opinion. If AOL does nothing, then block all AOL from your
site, redirecting any requests to a page explaining why they're blocked
and who the SOB responsible is. The second option, considering that when
law enforcement breaks down, the law-abiding go vigilante, is to send a
better hacker after this guy. Or mail bomb him. Be creative. All sorts
of really sweet vengeance comes to mind that I dare not post in a public
forum...
