The lawyer for the schools claims that Facebook must have known because comments were posted on Facebook to that effect: > “Facebook knew what was going on,” said Ellen Kramer, the lead attorney hired by the school districts. “There was all sorts of stuff being posted about the demise of ECOT on Facebook and yet they still took this money. So Facebook knew or should have known of the financial difficulties ECOT was experiencing at the time they accepted the payments.” I don't expect Facebook to use opinions posted on its site to determine facts about its business dealings. It would be one thing if Facebook Payments found that ECOT's bank was no longer willing to pay out of their account, and accepted ECOT's office building in exchange for running ads, or if they're working on a credit basis and learned that ECOT's FICO scores had tanked. It's completely different if they're supposed to read news articles or worse, forum comments to make an estimation of their customer's financial solvency.
