Carey Levine aka Carey Bock Facing Bankruptcy for Internet Defamation Judgment

With an $11.3M judgment for Internet Defamation and Invasion of Privacy, Carey Bock or as she goes by now, Carey Levine, is now facing bankruptcy.

For those people that still believe that free speech will condone defamation and invasion of privacy, think twice.

More and more cases are being filed and more and more plaintiffs are being successful.

Sue Scheff: Carey Bock (aka Carey Levine) Served to Proceed with Collections for Judgment for Internet Defamation and Invasion of Privacy

Carey Bock Levine (now Carey Levine), although has changed her address and her place of employment, was served on Friday, May 22, 2009 to attend an examination under oath on June 3rd to proceed with the collections process of this judgment.

After a jury awarded me over $11M verdict for damages done to my organization, my family and myself online, Bock (Carey Levine) attempted to have the judgment set aside and lost. Although she calls herself a Katrina Victim, it has been proven she sold her house weeks prior Katrina. Furthermore, was living in a gated community complex in League City, TX as the victims of Katrina were a distant away at the AstroDome. Also attended depositions after Katrina and found time to fly to Vegas to get married for a 3rd or 4th time.

As justice comes full circle, and for those that believe free speech protects defamation, think twice. Recently the Wall Street Journal had an article – Bloggers Beware: What you write can get you Sued! Well, just ask Carey Levine.

Carey Levine may not have the $11M, however her keystrokes will cost her – and hopefully this is a wake up call for those that believe the Internet is a place for e-venge.

Sue Scheff: $11.3M Jury Verdict for Damages of Internet Defamation

Although I won this judgment in 2006, the wheels of justice can move slowly. I am very grateful we have come to the time of moving forward – all legal papers filed and it is times for the collections to begin.

Will I ever see $11.3M? Well, that is doubtful, but there are many other ways of collections that can make wish you thought before your took your revenge on the keypad. Garnishment of wages? Liens on property? Liens on bank accounts? And much more….

So when you think you want to take your revenge via e-venge, think twice – it could have a hefty price tag.

Sue Scheff Landmark Internet Defamation Victory

Free Speech will not condone defamation – and once a judgment is filed (and as in my case, domesticated) moving forward to collections is the next step.  A jury awarded me over $11M in damages ($5M of it is for punitive damages) which is not dischargeable in bankruptcy count.

As you have read in my previous posts, we are now in this process and I will keep you posted on the details.  The defendant will be held accountable – after both being denied to have the judgment set aside, the defendant is now facing wage garnishment, possibly personal or involuntary bankruptcy and others means of collections.
