There's more to it. Gamespot got a reply from Jack claiming that they can't investigate him because of some civil rights violation (no idea what he means). It stems from something that apparently is used to keep a lawyer from a case and was supposedly used against him by lawyers from pornography groups or something.
Here's the link:Gamespot's Article?
If anything, I think that the thing that should get him in trouble is the correspondance with Scott from VGcats.com, because he was basically insulting and libeling (slandering?) someone who he initiated contact with. And then he claimed that Scott initiated the contact. Some of the other stuff I can see as him not being held accountable for but he also doesn't have the right to hold anything against Penny Arcade.
I do think that some of the penny arcade forum-goers are going overboard with the threats they've supposedly called him with. I don't agree that Penny Arcade is using "the Internet to orchestrate criminal harassment of me" as Jack put it. What people do is their own choice. No where did Gabe and Tycho say to threaten the guy.
