What is the name of the man that was sued? It is public info right?

Earlie, negative opinion is seldom popular. Though it is sad to hear, I am not at all surprised at the plight of your friend. Have you noticed that companies that are the most vocal critiques of the bears are actually the worst culprits? The first thing that comes to my mind when a company is aggressively going after bears is that they are guilty as charged! -ng-
I have a chicken story (about myself) to tell. A couple of weeks back they were advertising on the local radio about the financial wizzard cabby's (Wade Crook) lecture in the town. I have printed copies of the Bloomberg article about his investment losses and SEC investigations on this fraud guy. I wanted to distribute them at the place he is lecturing. Chickened out at the last moment - don't have the resources and time to fight if that nutburger sues me.

Earlie, one of my favorite red flags telling me a company is a short sell is when they file a suit against their critics. Squawking about and blaming short sellers for their woes is almost as good. It is my contention that good, solid companies rebut their critics with solid earnings and growth, not hyperbole and lawsuits.
