earlier this evening larry sinclair was kind enough to email us the copy of the federal complaint his attorney has filed in the united states district court for the district of columbia...

mr. sinclair's complaint names three defendants (so far) and asks for damages amounting to $3 million dollars for defamation and reckless misrepresentation...


the first defendant is a youtube user:
TubeSockTedD. according to mr. sinclair's complaint:
Defendant TubeSockTedD published a false statement about Plaintiff, to wit, in sum and substance that Plaintiff was “spreading lies about Obama”. Such false statement was published to third parties over the internet on YouTube.com. On February 18, 2008, Defendant TubeSockTedD uploaded a video to YouTube.com which stated “Larry Sinclair is Spreading Lies about Obama”.
the second made defendant is the democraticunderground.com user mzmolly -- the complaint states:
Defendant mzmolly published a false statement about Plaintiff, to wit,“Larry Sinclair is a mental patient who was institutionalized in 1999 on the date he claims to have had the "encounter" with Obama.” Such false statement was published to third parties over the internet on Demoncraticunderground.com. [...] Defendant mzmolly asserted a fact as of his or her own knowledge, to wit, that Plaintiff “Larry Sinclair is a mental patient who was institutionalized in 1999 on the date he claims to have had the "encounter" with Obama” without knowing whether it was true or false. In fact, Plaintiff was not “a mental patient who was institutionalized in 1999 on the date he claims to have had the "encounter" with Obama.” As a result, Plaintiff had been damaged by Defendant mzmolly’s aforesaid reckless misrepresentation.

the third defendant is a digg.com user who the complaint says:
Defendant OWNINGLIARS published a false statement about Plaintiff, to wit, “Larry Sinclair is a LIAR...Game Over, Larry. watch! youtube.com — For those of you who may have fallen for Mr. Sinclair's little "practical joke" about Senator Obama, you are forgiven. It's unfortunate that lonely people feel they have to lie to make friends, but there it is. It turns out that Larry was in a mental hospital at the time he says he met Barack Obama. Sorry, Larry. Game over.” Such false statement was published to third parties over the internet on Digg.com. The falsity of the statement by Defendant OWNINGLIARS caused injury to Plaintiff in his community and/or lowered him in the estimation of the community to which he belongs.
