First of all, he claims this was a joke, yet you wouldn't even know about it if the client didn't go to you directly. Which suggests he's probably tried this with other clients, who didn't inform you of his shenanigans. It also tells me he'll do it again and again, after all he thinks he got a free pass by calling it a "joke".
I'm not sure how I feel about the suing thing, what will you gain from it? Don't get me wrong, I'd want to sue his ass to oblivion, but does he have any money to pay? A judgement will only be beneficial if you can collect and pay for your time, your lawyer's time, and all the aggravation.
I'd go with what Pederson said about possible criminal penalties. Any way to find out if this idiot broke the law and what body would enforce and penalize him for those laws? Now THAT would be satisfying.
