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...
