things like this typically fall into either attempt crimes or conspiracy crimes.. wiki has a good explanation of both concepts... links below.

in this particular case, there's an identity theft charge for submitting the invalid subpoena to the bank with the judge's information and an attempted identity theft charge for trying (and not succeeding) to access the judge's banking information.

How else are they going to prove they don't owe the $16k charged for lawyer fees? Sounds like a $16k "don't poke around where you're not wanted" punitive charge. The $1.6M lawsuit was pretty offensive, also. None of this smells good.
