O'Leary's Defamation Suit: A Test of Accountability in the Age of Misinformation Kevin O'Leary, a prominent business investor, is facing a defamation lawsuit after claiming that opponents to his Utah data center were funded by Chinese money.
In June, he retracted this statement on social media, but the damage had already been done for two Utah residents who are now seeking compensation.
Gabi Finlayson and Josh Kanter claim that O'Leary and Fox News knowingly spread false information about them, damaging their reputations and causing significant economic losses.
