CPA Googles For His Name, Sues Google For Libel
fbform writes "Mark Maughan, an accountant, searched Google for his name on March 25 2003 and found some 'alarming, false, misleading and injurious' information about himself and his firm. Therefore, he is now suing Google, Yahoo (which used Google as its search engine at the time), AOL (for using Google to enhance its search results) and Time Warner (because they're the same company as AOL) for libel. Specifically, his lawyer John Girardi believes that Google's PageRank algorithm takes known good information and twists its context when displaying search results."
You mean he is not this guy ? Oh and for those that can't find it on Google? Click here From what I read there was a paperwork issue which caused their CPA license to be suspended and the firm to be placed on 'probation'. Sounds like he is the one twisting and distorting the facts. I was going to make a witty reference to Arthur Andersen but the only decent references to them are at Open Secrets
Why on Earth would anyone care about what "begging the question" means. It's all about context dude. These days, "begging the question" means "...and so that leads us to wonder". End of story. Stop being a fucking prick.
