Too late....he's apparently successfully executed the Bill Clinton rope-a-dope ploy. If you can hold out long enough, endure the public humiliation (neither of them has any humility), accuse your accuser of being worse than you are, all will be forgotten (or decent people will finally become sick of hearing about it) as the world "moves on." Max, sadly, will be around for as long as he wants to be, and for as long as BE finds him useful. Jack.
