Stephen Barrett, and Quackwatch, Have Always Been Just the Figurehead. The Judgment Money Will Be Seized Elsewhere – from the Cabal.
There is no question that Stephen Barrett, Quackwatch Inc, and the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF) are going to lose the Doctor’s Data v Barrett Federal Court Case. It is a foregone conclusion. There are only two real considerations for the Court to decide: (1) How much Actual and Punitive damages to award, and (2) Who, specifically, is going to have their assets seized to pay the award.
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
It is obvious when you look at what is happening behind the scenes in the case, that Barrett and the other Defendants have no Defense at all – and never did.
When you look at the fact that, right from the start, Doctor’s Data was looking for twenty million in damages, and Barrett, in his egomaniacal arrogance, after the lawsuit was filed, added MORE injury, you get a picture of what a Federal jury is going to be looking at. More, history shows that courts do NOT like Stephen Barrett. On the stand he is his own worst enemy.
The strategy, all along, it looks to me, has been to sue, and name as the visible Defendants, that which the real cabal running the operation wants us to see. Then, once the case is finished, and the visible Defendants lose, then comes the next process – Collection. And with Collection comes the ability to IDENTIFY who the REAL Defendants are.
