Grounds for libel I think, if true.
- danielweber 14y agoLibel (or slander) is really hard to prosecute in America, and with IMHO good reason. IANAL, but this doesn't seem like libel per se, so damages and malice would both need to be proven by the plaintiff.
- tptacek 14y agoIf LS customers dropped off like flies after this report, there are multiple tort claims besides libel that could come into play. Interference is apparently one of them.
