Gus Garcia-Roberts of the Miami New Times has the hilarious story of a French businessman who says he has won a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the Miami Herald, but the Herald says it has never been in court with the guy.
Garcia-Roberts writes, “If we read that correctly, the Herald will now be forced to ante up $2.065 million for engaging in a ‘whispering campaign’ against Cohen, those poor saps. The Frenchman did not reply to our emails seeking further details, and we couldn’t find mention anywhere else of a decision against the Herald. Writes executive business editor Jane Wooldridge: ‘To my knowledge, he has not sued us in court in the US, or elsewhere.’
“But what if Cohen’s telling the truth? What if this was all part of his genius plan– come to the United States, get scads of business associates pissed at him, and then sue the pantaloons off of the newspapers that dare write about it?”
