Ron,

We do not view this as any sort of extortion. Gday seems like a guy who is honest and who has purchased our products before. He says he did not cause the foreign object damage and I am inclined to believe him; he admitted to potentially damaging two of the drives, so what doe she have to gain by lying about how it was done?

It sounds like he was caught with these drives because of potential dishonesty on a third party's end.
