He is a paying customer... wow unbelievable.

Why can the police/FBI help in this case, given all the threads and demands? Were they contacted and informed of the situation?

Yes he has a FBI complaint id and met with them. Basically the FBI said there is nothing they can do. I'm going to get him to contact the journalist for this article and see if there is another FBI agent he can work with. Sprint wouldn't work with him at all and only after dozens of calls did they start to help him get his number back. (The entire number was in the process of being ported). We didn't even think about him being SWAT'd until I read this article. The threats were specifically towards his parents. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.
