We got what we wanted," says Lorry I. Lokey, president of the San Francisco wire service. "There's no way we're going to have our future jeopardized by this type of operation. We're not going to sit still and take these kinds of insults."

Mr. Lokey you are a sorry-ass piece of sh___t. But thanks for admitting that your motivation behind the lawsuit was not really that you were defrauded, or that your business reputation was damaged, or your trademark was infringed to your detriment, but rather that you took personal offense at someone poking fun at you. How do you sleep at night knowing you used the immense wealth of your corporation to cause three individuals to nearly suffer financial ruin? Do you feel good about it? If so, you oughta get a thicker skin and a better moral compass you slimeball.

And as for this blatant bullspit:

Business Wire's Mr. Lokey says he's not familiar with the Uniprime case, but says the wire service carefully screens press releases before they're distributed. "We don't just sit still. I can tell you that anyone in the future that moves a false story on our wire is going to get sued and we're going to win it," says Mr. Lokey. "We probably do as well or better a job of weeding out this stuff than The Wall Street Journal does," he says.

You need a bigger pair of boots to wade around in your office. It must stink to high heaven in there.
