A better parallel would be if you made a new username, and started posting MSN links and sticking forks in stuff so that people thought you were a new incarnation of CV.
No, but I dropped out of an Ivy League Law School, so every attorney I've talked to tells me I'm smarter than a lawyer. FWIW
Well, should we get into the list of where I dropped out of?
Gingi, duh!
He committed fraud for years using the Leviev name. While in 2022 the Leviev name is mostly cleared, that does not undo the damage he has caused for the family name in the years prior.
Again, I am asking what damage was caused to the family name at ANY time?I did see on one Israeli website that he allegedly used the LDD company name or logo. That would be trademark or copyright infringement, and could definitely be a valid claim for damages.
Again, I am asking what damage was caused to the family name at ANY time?
Example: He scammed a few private jet airlines out of hundreds of thousands of dollars while claiming he was part of the Leviev family. Until the people involved (and everyone they spoke to) were made aware that he's not related, the Leviev reputation is that they are billionaires that don't pay their bills. Untrustworthy. Not a family you want to partner or do business with. Obviously there is an impact. Another example - all the lies about him being in danger because he works for the Leviev family business, promoting the idea that they're involved in shady, dangerous business. And etc.
Someone impersonating @ExGingi son is a drug dealer. Rumors about your son dealing drugs circulate in your community. Any damage done to your reputation?
What recourse might I have if his last name is legally the same as my son's?
All hypothetical. Did any of this damage actually happen and have an affect?
None except when he represents himself to be your son. Not like you to defend a person like this. Are we missing something?
Not hypothetical. This is exactly what happened, and their reputation was damaged. Whether the damaged reputation led to provable monetary damages is difficult to determine, but this does not matter in a criminal case.

A. What kind of broker would book $65,000 of tickets before getting payment?
