Griggs
To rip someone off and then add insult to injury by charging them money or following with an egregious insult, a la Cook's Source magazine editor Judith Griggs when she plagiarized an article written by Monica Gaudio. When Gaudio contacted Griggs to straighten things out and ask that Judith make a small contribution to a journalism school to make things right, Griggs told her that her article wasn't very good in the first place and that if anything, Gaudio should be paying HER for the editing work she did on her piece.

Griggs
Stealing from someone or ripping off of someone, modifying the original (in the case of ripping off stuff), and then insulting the person and demanding compensation for ripping them off/stealing in the first place.

Comes from Judith Griggs, editor of Cooks Source magazine, who plagiarised a blog article (along with several other sources in nearly every issue), and when asked for an apology and small compensation, insulted the original author, claimed that the internet is public domain, and stated that the author should pay her for "editing" her original work.

Dude, my roommate totally griggsed my thesis! He just totally badmouthed me on Facebook and says he wants ten bucks and a four loko for "cleaning it up"!

Judith Griggs: "But honestly Monica, the web is considered "public domain" and you should be happy we just didn't "lift" your whole article and put someone else's name on it! It happens a lot, clearly more than you are aware of, especially on college campuses, and the workplace. If you took offence and are unhappy, I am sorry, but you as a professional should know that the article we used written by you was in very bad need of editing, and is much better now than was originally. Now it will work well for your portfolio. For that reason, I have a bit of a difficult time with your requests for monetary gain, albeit for such a fine (and very wealthy!) institution. We put some time into rewrites, you should compensate me! I never charge young writers for advice or rewriting poorly written pieces, and have many who write for me... ALWAYS for free!"
