A new lawsuit involves GoDaddy.
Konstantin Malofeev, a Russian millionaire who alleges that GoDaddy defamed him by hosting a number of websites that accuse him of fraud, has filed a $50 million dollar lawsuit.
According to Courthouse News Service, Konstantin Malofeev sued GoDaddy, Domains by Proxy and John Doe – the anonymous operator of the websites – on December 14 in Court:
“The websites contain assertions that Malofeev is ‘a thief and a criminal,’ who has committed fraud, privatization fraud, illegal purchasing of shares of regional energy companies, committing fraud on investors, and other alleged illegal acts,” the complaint states.”
Malofeev seeks an injunction stopping the defendant from publishing any defamatory statements, the removal of the offending web sites and the transfer of the domains to him, and $50 million dollars in damages.
