The keyword being -successfully. Is it the case that the presumption of innocence in the case would be with the accused and not the accuser ie the onus would be on the blogger to prove his facts if he were being sued?

I have heard that a couple of them are very quick to sue for damages. However, I also think that it is very valuable for potential high rise buyers to know what's going on. Bottom line, if the blogger had only written things he or she could confirm then there would be no trouble.

The Miami real estate market has tanked and this guy is looking to recover some losses any way he can. He files a 25 million dollar suit and figures that they will probably cave and settle out of court and he will walk away with a few dollars. Next Wall Street will be coming out with an investment fund to fund the pursuit of frivolous lawsuits and the returns would be shocking.
