Not this one. Read the blog post on which the decision is based (http://www.bankruptcycorruption.com/2010/12/kevin-padrick-of-obsidian-finance-group.html http://www.bankruptcycorruption.com/2010/12/kevin-padrick-of...). She sounds positively unhinged.
That doesn't mean she should owe this company $2.5 million. But this doesn't read like the work of a journalist or someone with a source. It reads like the ravings of a lunatic. I don't have near enough evidence to make a final judgment one way or another but this certainly smells more like defamation than whistle-blowing.
- smackfu 15y agoThis blog post is so unreadable it's a wonder that they bothered suing her.
- fleitz 15y agoIt sounds like additionally there's a high likelihood that she's judgement proof.
- jamesaguilar 15y agoI imagine sometimes defamation suits are more about the reputation than the money. Also, can't you get legally defamatory content removed from search engines? I honestly do not know.
- MichaelApproved 15y agoI'm betting her showing up prominently in search results for their company is what caused them to take action. They may never recover the judgement amount but they could get the domains as part of the liquidation of her assets.
- josscrowcroft 15y agoYeah, that court case must have been unbearable for all involved...
- grecy 15y agoI particularly like have every single paragraph starts with, and most contain (in bold) the exact phrase "Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group". I can only assume the blogger is going for that phrase in Google. www.obsidianfinancesucks.com/ is #4 for that phrase.
- ceol 15y agoIt very much is for SEO. My first result for "Kevin Padrick" is http://www.obsidianfinancesucks.com/ http://www.obsidianfinancesucks.com/.
