Good post teevee, this is old news but I think is relevant for a few of the posters to read since it shows that you cannot hide behind an internet alias. American Eco and its Executives Awarded $8.3 Million from Internet Libel Suit HOUSTON, TEXAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 1998--(NASDAQ:ECGOF - news; TSE:ECX. - news) AMERICAN ECO CORPORATION announced today that it had been awarded US$500,000 in punitive damages and US$75,000 in direct damages in its lawsuit against an individual who hid behind an Internet posting alias as ''PMKK1''. The judgment in favor of American Eco was for liable and slander through false Web and bulletin board postings about the Company and its executives. American Eco claimed that the falsehoods circulated on the Internet had damaged its reputation with the investment community and caused investors to short its publicly traded shares by creating doubt about statements made by American Eco management.
