Oooh....while that sounds attractive (and I don't think LM141 is actually serious about this) I urge you not to do this. That would be tantamount to blackmail, and there is ample case precedent for employers going after ex-employees for damaging their business. You've got the moral high ground right now - keep it.
One more thing - if you do the demand letter thing (which essentially threatens legal action) he will likely settle, but settle with his attorney drafting the letter. It is HIGHLY likely that they will ask you to sign an NDA. Not your typical business-intellectual-property NDA, but a real one, with some significant terms. And if you do sign it, you don't ever, ever talk about it again. To anyone. In any guise. On any forum.
Don't ask me how I know this.
