There have been a tremendous amount of personal attacks on me, which is libel.

It's only libel if what is being said is untrue. People are allowed to express their opinion, just as you are allowed to express yours. While you may not like it, you can't sue somebody for being mean or nasty. Again, I don't know specifics, but if you have taken money from somebody, and not provided a product, they aren't going to speak very highly of you, and they have every legal right to do so, just as you have the legal right to declare bankruptcy and absolve yourself of the debt.

Quoting Law.com

libel
1) n. to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others. Libel is the written or broadcast form of defamation, distinguished from slander, which is oral defamation. It is a tort (civil wrong) making the person or entity (like a newspaper, magazine or political organization) open to a lawsuit for damages by the person who can prove the statement about him/her was a lie...

Note that you have to prove what they said is untrue. Otherwise freedom of speech grants them the right to say negative things about you, as any politician can attest.

I have seen his posts on the Illinois Central model Yahoo group, the most important thing is being able to deliver product and make money. He needs to stick on something that he can deliver now, but he is getting the financial dance around and etc. He sounds dedicated to his purpose, but delivery performance is critical. He has orders to deliver and he needs to do that or its more hot water. Eventually it may catch up to him but you know its tough to make things work in this business.
