The legal bearing is called Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when one person intentionally damages someone else's contractual or business relationships with a third party causing economic harm.
If simple inquiry, then no, if harassing, as has been indicated, then yes, which is not only potentially criminal but can also be potentially pursued civilly for losses to the company due to their actions.
It has been stated that SB should just list the name here, I do not believe that he should as that could add possible legal complications to the situation. He should in my opinion, not threaten action but take action and file charges against those individuals as they not only have damaged the company, but each one of us as investors in the company and is in fact criminal behavior.
I am as frustrated about the PPS as the next person, however, being self-employed, things do not always happen as i thought or had hoped. Things change. Sometimes in business you have to zag when you were trying to zig.
One may not like SB or the way he operates, if this is the case, I suggest they acquire their own shell and build a company the way they choose. Armchair quarterbacking and criticizing what has happened is a lot easier than actually being the one doing it. Oh ya, and not to mention, make sure to post copies of all contracts and proof of their every action, making sure not to state anything that will not 100% happen when and how one states it will. Just a thought and as always, obviously in my own opinion. GLTA $ONCI/HEXA
