I don't offer an opinion on your business methods, recovery methods, or even the morality.
Instead, I point out that you're going to go to prison. As noble as you think your cause, they most absolutely will not care. Also related: I'd not count on jury nullification.
You do what you've got to do, but you are going to prison if you follow up on this plan. There are a few things one shouldn't play with; firearms, nuclear weapons, and the SEC.
If you're okay with long term incarceration and fiscal penalties that could bankrupt Bill Gates, knock yourself out. If you can be tied to your online messages declaring intent, it's really going to make for an angry judge. I've seen angry judges, they remind me of honey badgers.
Seriously, I highly recommend you seek legal council from a qualified legal professional licensed to practice in your jurisdiction. Morality and consumer complaints aren't actually things the SEC care about. They are only marginally less aggressive than the IRS.
