I imagine saying a financial institution has lost all of it's customers money (without evidence) would be considered libellous in most countries.

- mpyne 14y agoIt might be in most, but not in the U.S. You basically have to cause actual damage, have malicious intent, and actually be factually untrue. In the U.S. the comment you're speaking about would be considered mere speculation/conjecture.
- ig1 14y agoI assume it depends on a state basis, but IMHO the OP comment doesn't read like speculation, it reads like someone making a factual statement with the intention to influence the readers perception of the company in question.
