Dirty Laundry Airs on Stock Site
by Polly Sprenger

12:00 p.m. 11.Dec.98.PST
A company officer sued three individual investors for allegedly posting defamatory comments on a stock discussion message board, and served the suit by posting it on the same boards that are at the core of the complaint.

Dean Dumont, one of three defendants, first learned of the suit filed by Legacy Software in a US District Court in New Hampshire when he logged on to the Silicon Investor Web site Thursday night.

Dumont hit the boards to discuss the performance of his stocks, but instead found himself reading a legal filing with his name on it. The filing charged intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, defamation, and unfair trade practices.
