Yup, just like they did Pirker. In that case, they did ultimately collect a fine from him so they could call it a "victory", If he didn't have free counsel (who's bill was likely in excess of 100,000) he would have caved like a house of cards and paid their fine. FAA has plenty of attorneys to keep busy, lol.
