I cannot conceive what happened in this man's upbringing that led to him waking up one day and deciding to spend a not insignificant amount of time and money with the explicit aim of extorting money from people he's never going to meet. He needs to be disbarred, and then sued for damages.
Shocking article in the Sheffield Tribune. A solicitor, Andrew Milne, buying up freeholds of houses and then making (false) threats to the leaseholders to bully them into buying the freehold at a huge premium.
