"a lawyer who doesn't know the difference between libel and slander, a website that is registered through a company that hides your identity (has been used a lot for online crime)... also that news on their website is so poorly written and full of mistakes, they are really doing a good job of defending themselves. can i add how bad an idea it is to post this as news on tek9 without any proof. also even if they do have the money, are you really willing to spend all that money to go there in the hope that these people (who can't even make a website) can run a professional lan? pff..."
