Also named as defendants were CCS, Matt Nelson and Heritage Auctions, Inc. We just received the Complaint three days ago.In all five claims were asserted against the defendants. The Meyers claim (1) Defamation and (2) False Light, while IGB alleges (3) Intentional Interference with Existing Business Relations and (4) Intentional Interference with Prospective Contractual Relations. Both the Meyers and IGB are jointly pursuing a claim of (5) Civil Conspiracy. Rather than provide all the specific details, and because we believe it is important the community is aware of this action, I am providing a link of the full Complaint for everyone's review: https://www.docdroid.net/Dx6w7uS/complaint.pdf.html On behalf of CGC, CCS and Matt, rest assured we find the allegations to be false and completely baseless. We will not just defend ourselves against this lawsuit but actually fight aggressively. We welcome the opportunity to prove before a court of law that the accusations are frivolous. Many of you may recognize some of the allegations as having been the subject of discussion in this Gold Comics thread entitled "There's a Restored 9.4 Tec 33 Blowing up on Ebay" from 2015-16 where the Meyers posted under the username "igb": http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9083257&fpart=1 We take our commitment to this community very seriously, and we stand by our services and product 100%. That is why I will keep the community abreast of what transpires in the lawsuit, but please understand that given the nature of litigation I might not be able to respond to your questions. But at the appropriate times I will post further explanations and evidence. bold text |

| This is obviously a combustible situation. Monitor your responses or I will. Please refrain from speculating on anything CBCS may or may not do. CBCS is not named anywhere in this suite, so they should not be mentioned here. Feel free to talk about the merits of the case, how it may effect the hobby in general or CGC in particular. Let's try to keep it civil. Don't let this one get out of hand. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O I think you're overreacting a bit since we have no idea where CBCS stands on this issue. This lawsuit affects all two legitimate slabbers and brings up the philosophical question of what is a comic? CBCS does not exist in a vacuum. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Injurytoeye Ironic that you should make this statement. It was your comment, deleted quickly by me, which led me to feel the need to post this message. And IF CBCS chooses to make an official statement on this, then we can discuss what they said. |
