Todd,
I too agree with your analysis. I was and still am hesitant to discuss REA's allegations about Corey's bidding activities since there are possible scenarios regarding agency and legitimate private sales that would make Corey an innocent party in all of this.
On a totally different aspect of this case, I've never sued someone for libel, but I'm well aware of someone who attempted to sue for libel and business disparagement. That person found out the hardest way imaginable that his life and his business suddenly went under the microscope and any "questionable" business activity, any incriminating written statements, business records, and any objectionable personal behavior suddenly became fair game for the court. Not only did this person not prevail, but fought furiously not let his case get to trial once a myriad of things were brought to light. Even with the case dismissed there is now a lot of very embarrassing and incriminating admissions and evidence are now a matter of public record. It could be very interesting how this all plays out. The old adage, "be careful what you ask for", may have never rang truer.
