Depends on whether he was named personally or not. Based on his post, a default judgment was entered. You'd have to take a look at the complaint. What the facts are in reality really doesn't matter--unfortunately--because he did not appear in a tribunal to prove or assert those facts. Don't forget that in U.S. courts (as in the UK) the uncorroborated testimony of a single witness is enough to meet the burden of proof, even in a criminal case. Whether you prevail or not is something else, but in terms of a minimum threshold, all you need is the testimony of the person who placed the order and who received counterfeit goods. The burden then shifts to you to prove that a) the witness is mistaken or lying or b) the goods are not counterfeit.
But he never showed up. Moral of the story: buy insurance. Budget for legal in the same way you budget for accountants.
