Ronald J. Riley Sued By Dozier Internet Law
Riley's Attacks on Blogger Anonymity and Free Speech Cited
Richmond, Virginia (PRWEB) September 8, 2008 -- Dozier Internet Law, PC filed a lawsuit against Ronald J. Riley and a number of businesses, all owned and controlled by Riley, Thursday, September 4, 2008. The suit (Case No. CL08-2123) is pending in the Circuit Court of the County of Henrico, Virginia and a copy of the lawsuit is available on the web through the Dozier Internet Law Website.
It appears a number of press releases have been issued concerning this litigation in the past day. This is the first and only press release communication from, or authorized by, Dozier Internet Law.
The product of an investigation spanning the course of a year, the lawsuit sets forth in detail how Ronald J. Riley allegedly built false credentials through, among other tactics, claiming false affiliations with MIT and Harvard, creating executive positions by surreptitiously forming his own companies and organizations and appointing himself "President", "Executive Director", or "Senior Fellow", and misappropriating the identity of defunct organizations, including "The Alliance for American Innovation", a powerful lobbying group that had fulfilled its mission and had closed down. The suit alleges that Riley is using those credentials to generate clients for invention promotion, marketing and consulting, and targeting unsuspecting inventors and entrepreneurs.
The legal action describes Ronald J. Riley's alleged attempts to silence his online critics, and his challenges to the anonymity of bloggers and online commentators, with threats to obtain log files and IP addresses and "track down" those disclosing his fraudulent misconduct. The Complaint details how Riley allegedly used attacks against competitors and infringed on trademarks to generate clients, including the use of "anchored text" links fraudulently misdirected to Riley's websites.
The lawsuit alleges that Ronald J. Riley has "perpetrated one of the most successful business credential frauds ever committed upon the inventor and entrepreneur community."
