Everybody, especially people Seth's age, now that IP addresses are easy to track, especially from his own phone.
You're really overselling general tech knowledge. By a lot.

I don't know who's telling the truth, but I find WWL's version of the story a little hard to believe. I would just think that anybody would know that they would be caught if they did what they're accusing Dunlap of. Everybody, especially people Seth's age, now that IP addresses are easy to track, especially from his own phone. He would have to be very stupid and by all accounts, he's not. They'll have to prove that he had password access to the company twitter and they'll have to have independent conformation from the NOPD.
I think WWL was trying to get Dunlap to drop the suit and the case by putting pressure on him, knowing that they'd have a ground swell of public support from their listeners given the recent Smollett case. Everybody would assume that he's lying because of association. Seems to be working for now.
I'll be curious to see how this turns out. One side or the other is risking a lot.
You really think so? I think that's kind of common knowledge for anybody younger than 40.
This I agree with, someone is getting burned here. The problem I have with Seth's side is the $1.85 million. That just seems like an awfully high number for this type of case. Now that could be his attorney's idea, but still, it's troublesome. On the other hand, for the reasons you've stated, it doesn't seem like Seth would be dumb enough to log into the site and create a post from his phone, which would be relatively easy to track down. It's a baffling scenario. But desperate people sometimes do things that don't make a lot of sense.
At this point none of us know whether Seth is actually a victim or not. I'll wait until I know more before talking about blame.

uh wat. That would be the case if hadn't seen numerous recent examples of this behavior.
One side has, allegedly, actual evidence. Everyone should have the same opinion based on what we know: it doesn't look good for Seth at all and he is LIKELY the one that sent the tweet, but let's wait for the facts to come out.
I was going to post something similar but decided against it.Because one opinion has facts to back it up and the other has feefees.
Look, I'm a lawyer in the industry at issue here. I know how they think, act, and do what they do.
The 1.8 million demand people are focusing on is irrelevant and frankly, a dumb thing to focus on. Its a PI Lawyer's first demand, those are always going to be outrageous, trust me. I've sent a few outrageous demands in my time. Seth almost certainly didn't come up with that number, his lawyer did. It was designed to get a reaction and to work towards a large counter-offer.
But I DO know how corporate attorneys operate. There is NO CHANCE they would have gone the steps they did, take it to the police, blow it up, etc if they did not have extremely compelling evidence that the tweet was sent by Seth. I know the digital forensic team that did the work by reputation and they are considered pretty damn good.
If they didn't have the evidence they would have said nothing and continued to try and let this thing simmer behind the scenes and try to get it settled. TRUST ME. They do not want this publicity at all. They try to end these things quietly. At worst they would have taken a different position to try and mitigate damages.
If they made up the fact that he sent the tweet and filed a police report, they are setting themselves up for a massive case, maybe even punitive damages and a variety of more claims.
They've most likely got him, or they at least believe they do based on the evidence.
Any other opinion simply isn't logical and is based on politics and emotions.

No way this law firmof Entercom's is going to do what has been done unless they have a very high degree of confidence that they are right. If they have flimsy evidence or no evidence then it could completely destroy that firm.
I even think they arranged that meeting earlier in the week in an attempt to have this go down quietly but Seth's team wasn't in the mood - but that is mere speculation.
Also, Entercom is not really worried about a lawsuit, imo. Bad publicity- yes, but a lawsuit and a lawsuit payout - no.
Like I've been saying, social media is the worst invention of the last 20 years.
I SO agree. We are drowning in chatter.Like I've been saying, social media is the worst invention of the last 20 years.
