Kevin Pittsnogle — the tattooed, 3-point-shooting 7-footer whose last name became a verb during his time on the West Virginia University basketball team — says an attorney he hired for a custody battle took his money and ran.

In a lawsuit filed Jan. 23 in Berkeley Circuit Court, Pittsnogle alleges that he paid attorney Kenneth Ford, of Baltimore, a $1,000 flat fee to represent him in a paternity and custody matter. Ford had previously made a name for himself by filing copyright lawsuits on behalf of adult movie film studios.
