APEX vs John Does

This is an update with new information about the case of “Tunnel Rat” vs. APEX. It's assumed you have read the first and second story that I wrote on this issue so I don't have to repeat stuff about what is going on.

• John Doe #1: Goes by the name "Tunnel Rat". He runs two websites that were shut down (ITGrunt and endh1b) as a result of the court order. The trouble began when an H-1B visa holder working at APEX posted a link to an employee contract at ITGrunt’s web site. APEX decided to take ITGrunt down merely for having the link to the document on his blogs. ITGrunt’s caustic commentary about APEX was never mentioned in the complaint although it’s rather obvious that he provoked APEX and the desi community. Doe #1 is a top level programmer/consultant who has a good paying job at a major company. He doesn't want his identity revealed because he fears that he will be put on employer black lists, and says that death threats make him worry about the safety of him and his family if he loses his anonymity.
• John Doe #2: His email name is mmillere2006@yahoo.com. Doe #2 is active replying in blogs. He was outraged when the law firm Herten, Burstein, Sheridan, Cevasco, Bottinelli, Litt & Harz filed a complaint to a New Jersey Surpreme Court to shut down Doe #1’s websites. He sent an angry email to the law firm. From his email the law firm got his IP address, and then ordered Yahoo and Comcast to reveal his identity. Doe #2 is an unemployed programmer in Detroit. He is a victim of the ethnic cleansing of Americans in the auto industry in general and Ford in particular. Doe #2 has a Master’s in programming but couldn’t find a job after being laid off by Ford so he went back to school and is nearing completion of an MBA. He is close to living in the cold streets of Detroit and believes that losing his anonymity will push him over the curb.
• John Doe #3: He runs the website guestworkerfraud.com. He ran afoul of APEX because he picked up a lot of Tunnel Rat’s info and added his own inflammatory commentary. His website is still working even though the court ordered it to be shut down. Like ITGrunt, he feels that public exposure will hurt his career. He is a top level Apple computer programmer that has been unemployed for several months.
• John Doe #4: A disgruntled H-1B visa holder going by the pen name Panjak Jain was angry that APEX required him to sign a contract that indentured him to the company. He posted his contract document on some desi sites such as desicrunch, and then put a link to the document on one of the sites run by ITGrunt. APEX claims they already know who he is, and if true he may be in big trouble. APEX has offices in India so going there probably won't serve as a refuge from retribution. He hasn't been heard from since APEX went on their rampage.
