I don't want to give an opinion here that may be mistaken for legal advice, so I'll shut up.

It only counts if you're a really expensive lawyer.

I don't think posting it would change the opinion of anyone already invested in it.
If there are any 'expensive lawyers' though, making a public statement might just be inviting trouble for no reason.

BTW, I think the original DDMS post you did on this was excellent, kol hakavod!

Incidentally- what are the laws about slander? Are you allowed to slander somebody under the first amendment?

Dan in your post on the main site you never mentioned their name ?? so even if she was serious what case could they make against you??  ???


you never mentioned any specific company on ddms .. 
Actually I think it was mentioned, but it was removed afterwards. See the following post:
Very smart to write ScamHarvestGamesAmerica, it won't come up in Google search but it is clear enough to the reader.

I wouldn't dignify it with a response.

Still not sure what the difference between stating an opinion and slandering... or can you be liable for stating a slanderous opinion?

If Mrs. Whatever-her-name-is actually suffered damages because of what Dan said about Sungames- can she even sue on behalf of Sungames?

Strange how Jews are so often the scammers and so often the naive ones being scammed.

There needs to be basic financial education in frum communities (even the ones that avoid limudei chol) it's not just MLM scams its also ponzi schemes and building projects in Israel etc. So many people are at risk at losing everything because my friend looked into it or "he's frum" .....

It's not the lack of education.

Rather? Part of the education needs to be not to believe random people

But then what do you do when the rov of your shul is the one pushing a scam? (As is also happening in this case) Aren't the congregants supposed to trust him?

It's simply educating people to be honest, straight, and teach them what it means to have a work ethic, don't look for the sleazy quick buck, make an honest living. People who have these solid values don't invest in this type of scam.
