As most others here have said, find a lawyer who will do this on contingency.
Google ip attorney contingency and go from there.
I am in a similar situation, but probably around 1/10 of the amount.
As you already know, it is fairly easy to send a letter.
I am surprised they did not also accuse you of libel. That is my favorite.
Do you happen to know the federal law regarding the accusation of crime unless given consideration. Is it simply extortion or is there some other statute?
Best of luck, you have justice on your side!
Try to get some lump sum cash AND a yearly/quarterly/monthly licensing fee out of this.
