Although a plaintiff may use legal conclusions to provide the structure for the complaint,

spoofing is against the law and we have proof

the pleading’s factual content must independently “permit the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct.” Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1950.

I think NWBO does a good job of showing that defendant knows spoofing harms companies and that doing it for their clients is no defense. Citadel is implying that NWBO is not entitled to compensation even though they see the illegality of their actions

In short, when the well pleaded complaint does not permit the court “to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct,” the pleader is not entitled to relief. Fowler v. UPMC Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 2011 (3d Cir. 2009)(quoting Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949).

Citadel says their misconduct came about through factors they can't control. "My client made me do it". We'll see how that holds up and what NWBOs response is
