Have you not heard of SLAPP lawsuits? The whole point of them is to make the defendant rack up high costs, even in cases where the claimant knows they aren't going to win.
It is incredibly naive to say the devs know more about bitcoin than CSW, so it will be easy for them to win. I'm sure they can hand their legal team pages and pages of hard evidence of CSW's lies, forgeries, technical incompetence, and so on, but the legal team will still be charging hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars an hour to go through it all to generate a winning case, not to mention the trial itself can drag out over several weeks. Legal costs, even for such a case where the opposing side is clearly and provably wrong, can still mount to millions of dollars.
a case is not won by who has the bigger purse.
Except often it is. A side which is clearly wrong (CSW) will have a harder time defending itself, but a side which is clearly wrong with a multi-million dollar legal team can easily beat someone who is right with no funding. And even if/when the devs win, CSW doesn't care about winning. He cares about intimidating people with these frivolous lawsuits and the cost of defending them.
so lets intimidate him with the same tactics, just start drawing up class action lawsuits claiming that craig has defrauded x of x amount of money. There is literally no ethical boundary in doing so and I am SURE one of you OG bitcoiners has enough money to fight him. so if one of you held your coins and gives a fuck maybe you will start fighting that retard.
