Pretty sure DDOS (and even the threat of one) is against the CFAA and you could take the party to court if you could prove they threatened to DDOS (and doubley so if they actually went through with it).
Probably cheaper to pay a few thousand to a lawyer and bankrupt/jail them than to spend tens of thousands on anti-ddos protection.
Assuming they are a US, Canadian or other country with anti-computer abuse laws citizen (I guess if they live in Russia or China you'd be SOL though).

On second thought, what's to stop him from getting some russian to do the DDoS for him afterwards?
