I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

domain squatter demanding ransom. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
