This is why the world hates lawyers.  What’s worse is that the HBS prof (with a JD) is actually abusing the statute (MGL 93a), which I happen to teach.  The statute requires a demand letter before litigation, which should just be for the refund, but this shvantz is demanding the treble damages that he would get from successful litigation.  If you’re going to go inappropriately legal on someone, at least get it right.
