Cont: Biden for President? Pt 3

[Segnosaur]

(Wasn't sure where to post this... the topic was discussed in several threads, including the Biden election threads, and it didn't deserve a thread of its own.)

Remember Hunter Biden's laptop? How it was proof of crime? Well, its time to come up with all new jokes about it.

From: The Verge
John Paul Mac Isaac was the owner of The Mac Shop...In October, the New York Post reported that The Mac Shop had been paid to recover data from a laptop belonging to Joe Biden’s son Hunter...After the Post’s sourcing and conclusions were disputed, Facebook and Twitter both restricted the article’s reach, and Twitter pointed to its ban on posting “hacked materials” as an explanation....Mac Isaac claims Twitter specifically made this decision to “communicate to the world that [Mac Isaac] is a hacker.” He says that his business began to receive threats and negative reviews after Twitter’s moderation decision...
...
Mac Isaac is nonetheless demanding $500 million
...
Update December 30th, 9AM ET: A Florida judge dismissed Mac Isaac’s complaint within a day of its filing, saying the state’s federal court did not have jurisdiction

So many things wrong...

- The claim that the bad reviews, etc. were because he was considered a "hacker" rather than a trump stooge.
- The rather... excessive amount of the claim
- His problem filing with the correct court

Seems to me that taking your client's abandoned property to the tabloid press is something that would rightfully ruin your reputation as a computer repairman. Hacking really has little to do with that element, the guy's a creep.

And of course that's assuming the laptop (and the material that was on it) actually belonged to Hunter Biden in the first place. Looks just as bad (if not worse) to have a shop owner slander a customer with false accusations.

I'm just playing devil's advocate.

Assume Biden really did leave the laptop there and the bill went overdue and the laptop became the shop's property...

Combing through your clients data and forwarding it to the tabloids and a partisan hack like Giuliani is horridly unprofessional.

A reasonable person would have just wiped the laptop and accepted it as free hardware without probing through the dirty laundry.

Is there really a defamation claim here? Seems to me that, by the repairman's own admission, he nuked his own reputation through his actions. Even the most charitable reading of events is that this guy was a huge creep.
