It depends what the intent is.
I'm of like mind, sadly. I suspect that a civil action against Cloudtag (and especially a UK-based one), while very likely to be successful, would find an entirely empty cupboard regarding dispensable assets. As people have opined, ABH will have long made sure that any company monies are elsewhere - and I'm equally sure that he'll have precious few personal onshore assets within the UK.
Which is why encouraging a criminal case to be pursued, rather than a civil one, might prove to be the more appropriate option.
Sure, the criminal standard is harder to prove than the civil one (though one would have thought that with Amit's countless porkies, there was evidence aplenty).... and sure, even if successful, it's still unlikely to recover any compensation for defrauded PIs...
...but a criminal case is potentially also testable in other jurisdictions (cf. Dougb's reference to the amazing disappearing Chicago bank). And I'm beyond sure that everyone would like to see justice catch up with ABH one way or another.
