Courts are beginning to award damages more and more often to people in defamation cases. Just because you post behind a pseudonym does not mean you can't be sued and it does not give you the right to make defamatory claims against people. The problem is that if you make claims of he is a scam artist and is committing fraud like here many have, you have a very real risk of hurting his ability to conduct business in the future. When new potential clients look up information on Baron Capital and Matt Dwyer and they see this putrid mess of junk spewed all of stock message boards, it can have a profound affect on ability to obtain clients.

Your freedom of speech does not give another person the right to ruin another mans lively hood.

For instance this was was awarded in the very same county Matt is in, so be careful:

Broward County Jury awards $11.3M over defamatory Internet posts

A Florida woman has been awarded $11.3 million in a defamation lawsuit against a Louisiana woman who posted messages on the Internet accusing her of being a "crook," a "con artist" and a "fraud."
Legal analysts say the Sept. 19 award by a jury in Broward County, Fla. — first reported Friday by the Daily Business Review — represents the largest such judgment over postings on an Internet blog or message board. Lyrissa Lidsky, a University of Florida law professor who specializes in free-speech issues, calls the award "astonishing."

The Sun News reports that a South Carolina state court has awarded Scott Brandon $1.8 million in damages for defamation arising out of statements published on the Myrtle Beach Insider blog. Brandon, who is the head of an ad agency with offices in Charleston and Myrtle Beach, sued local businessman Donald Wizeman in April 2008, claiming that Wizeman was the author of Myrtle Beach Insider and that Wizeman had defamed him by publishing a June 2007 post calling him a "failed lawyer" and criticizing one of his ad agency's campaigns. Wizeman denied that he was the author of Myrtle Beach Insider, but admitted agreeing with its content.
