keep shinning the light Tricia...
ITA. I'm starting to wonder if he's TH's anonymous donor and is trying to get some more money for her defense. That would explain him wanting 743,000. Either that, or he's just plain greedy. But it is suspicious that right when she's asking KH for money and claiming she's broke that Jason pops up and extorts people. I can definitely see why she wouldn't want to admit that he's the one that's paying for her lawyer. Things that make you go hmmmm....
However, if you would like to issue a statement on anything that was posted I would be glad to post it for you on Websleuths.
Howdy, Kermit! I think JW stated that he was a "pubic figure" not a public figure. I tried to google this, but...uh....:blushing:From Tricia's letter to JW (on page 1 of this thread):
Limited-purpose public figures, like public figures, have at least temporary access to the means to counteract false statements [i.e. a statement which claims to be fact and is not clearly identified as an opinion] about them. (source: http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Defamation)
IMO, an opportunity was provided to this individual (who seems to meet the legal definition of a limited-purpose public figure) to respond to any opinions/posts made about him on this site (and was invited to have his response posted), and seems to have declined that opportunity, for some reason.
MOO (my own opinion)
Hey Tricia, I was wondering what has become of this... Have you heard back from him? Has your three days that he gave you to remove the information passed yet? If so has he said or done anything else? Have you contacted the authorities and informed them of this threat? Just want to let you know I'm proud of you. Not backing down from this gives me great respect for you. I am so proud to be a member here. Stay safe.. XXOO
I don't really think a student who is eating noodles and day old bread has the money to provide for anyone. His claim to fortune would seem to be so much hot air.
Tricia,
My father worked for the USPS for well over 25 years. We heard directly from him about investigations regarding 'threatening' letters being sent through the USPS. Several posters here have mentioned how seriously the postal service takes these types of communications.
While LE is an automatic response, the postal service would hit this one hard and fast because of the multiple letters sent through the service. One way to shine a very very bright light on this fella is to have a USPS Inspector and Investigator show up at his door. I dare say the media would pick that up pretty quickly as well, highlighting disturbing issues identified by several WS posters this individual has exhibited in his writing.
Please stay safe. My thoughts are with you and your family.:twocents:
