Bitfinex Shareholder and Brexit Supporter Christopher Harborne Sues Wall Street Journal for Defamation
Christopher Harborne, also known as Chakrit Sakunkrit in Thailand, is a Bitfinex shareholder and a supporter of Brexit. He is suing the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) for defamation over an article that is nearly a year old and was only corrected a week ago. The article claimed that crypto companies behind Tether used falsified documents and shell companies to get bank accounts, and included allegations against Harborne and his company AML Global. The lawsuit is being filed in Delaware, which may be an attempt to avoid New York's Anti-SLAPP legislation.
