I suppose there are always two sides (EDIT: or three sides, or four sides) to every story...

..whoa.

The FBI investigates a lot of things.  Not really a surprise when you think about what the I in the acronym stands for.

The FBI's "investigation to indictment" ratio is probably the highest in the world; depending on your political views, that might be a good thing or a bad thing, but the point is the correlation between an FBI investigation and wrongdoing is quite poor... there are tens of thousands of investigations a year that nobody ever hears about, and frankly in many of those cases, those being investigated might not even know that they are.  The fact that the FBI opened up a case (likely at Rutgers' request) to investigate extortion charges is virtually meaningless.

Agree completely.On the surface, I wouldn't classify this as an extortion attempt, but merely an attorney sending a pre-suit (unlawful termination suit) demand letter. Only a really stupid lawyer would draft an extortion letter. Then again.......
