I am not sure I understand his crime if he in fact backed out. Backing out of a conspiracy before the conspiracy commits a criminal act ought relieve one of the imputed guilt of the conspiracy,

It is not illegal to think of committing a crime.

On the British Army’s ‘ARRSE’ forum, they have a system whereby trolls and idiots are not banned, but labeled ‘Oxygen Thief’ by the mods, on the understanding that thereafter they will be ignored by the other members. Seems like the best thing to do with an obvious idiot troll like this guy crying out for undeserved attention....
