I believe it was to bully FFR into submission via huge legal defense costs.

Kudos to FFR for standing their ground.

That raises an interesting question to our lawyers here. When a suit is filed against the defendant and the action is dismissed, does the plaintiff pay the legal costs of the defendant?

The defendant is always responsible for his own defense costs, (unless he wins a countersuit which includes court costs). Recovering such costs is another matter.
