Lord Neil
Gibson is a humanitarian and financier. In the course of his every week he
meets all kinds of people – from lobbyists for needy charities to asset holders
who have billions of dollars in assets they wish to trade. According to Neil he
will get over 400 emails on a standard day. He has 7 meetings a day arranged,
and that is when he is not flying from one side of the planet to the other.
If you are
that busy, every now and again you’ll meet a bad egg. Someone will say they
have assets which do not exist or are from a source you’d be better not dealing
with.
Lord Gibson
has several times come across such people, who are often desperate and will go
to extreme lengths to pretend that they are real. This may be because they are
desperate to get rid of a bad debt or perhaps they have promised unrealistic
results to a fellow trader.
Unfortunately
for Neil, one such ne’er-do-well contacted him. As a result Neil worked with
the US authorities to put him away. The man was found guilty and served his
time.
Alas, when
the man got out of jail and tried to pick up the pieces he turned bitter and
started pursuing Neil. This resulted in a court case which Neil Gibson won.
This victory made the pursuer even bitterer.
Lord Neil
Gibson spends many hours of his week trying to make the world a better place,
so it’s not as if he should put the encounter down to karma. He believes that
in fact the Internet is to blame. In the past it was not so easy for anybody to
post slanderous comments online in minutes which get acknowledged worldwide in
seconds.
Internet
defamation laws are gradually changing for the better but right now while
spending millions on a libel case in London your Internet stalker can be
posting thousands of defamatory posts about you online. People are getting
better at hiding the trail; using IP address hiders and Internet cafes.
So, libel
cases are outmoded and a waste of money; especially when your pursuer has spent
time in jail and has lost all his money in the process.
Lord Neil
Gibson is not phased. He knows he is not how the Internet stalker portrays him.
Lord
Gibson continues to work as a humanitarian and currently presides over billions
in assets across three continents. It’s just part of being who he is that one
man has decided to write and post loads of tosh about him online.
