Remember that not everybody who brings a suit to court does so with the intention or expectation of winning a judgement. They may hope that the cost of mounting a defence will deter the respondant from defending. It is sort of like a big stack bullying a short stack, hoping the short stack will not call.

Alternatively, Seif may think that his reputation is so badly damaged that the only hope he has is to mount a civil suit, despite the noted problems for AP. Perhaps so much of his rep is already in the pot that he is calling the turn all-in, hoping to hit his one-outer.

I think Dan Druff has enough money to fight this off. Also, if he doesn't, I'd donate to his defense fund.
