And that is likely because he is doing something illegal now I assume?

Not at all

Why don't you tell us why your friend even thinks he is being investigated.

I believe he said he just apologized to the guy and the guy threaten legal action

Then he need not worry about it any longer and neither should you.

If what your friend did was an online impersonation of someone, and harm to the one impersonated resulted from your friend’s action, a civil action, a criminal action, or both potentially could have been pursued.

And it could be possible even now for a legal action to result over older online content or internet activity - if it was only recently discovered by the one who was impersonated. A defamation claim, for one example, potentially could be pursued under a state’s “discovery rule.”

Specifics really should be discussed with a New York attorney, if your friend is concerned.

He said the individual knew about the personation when it was going on

But thank you I will inform my friend

Okay. Well ... if no action was taken years ago, it is unlikely that any legal action can be taken now over that particular impersonation.
