The retraction mentioned Business Wire 44 times.

One page of legal complaint for every mention?

Ms. Tamraz, the Business Wire executive, says there probably have been cases where companies have distributed false information through the service. But she says Business Wire doesn't have the ability to investigate every claim made in every release, and says when the service has reason to believe false statements are being made -- as it did in this case -- it takes action. "There's nothing of this magnitude that we've dealt with before," she says.

WHOAAAAA!! Does this mean we're bigger than Bre-X?!?
