I see. Well then, if you call him a "crook" or a "fraud" and there is no endorsed check where you recieved the money, then what you are saying is not libelous defamation, and whatever legal action he intends would be fruitless.

The Platinum Bucks crew threatened me with a lawsuit when I wasn't paid per their message board contest, and I made it public on this and several other boards. Again, there was no check endorsed by me and therefore my calling them on it is no defamation.

Additionally... even if you do call someone a "fraud," and they can be proven otherwise, if you include in your statement that it is your opinion or that it is what you think, legally (in the US at least) that is oftentimes enough to exclude you from being guilty of libel or slander, because you can't be sued for stating your opinions, regardless of how off the wall or unsubstantiated they may be.
