Are we sure we have gotten to the bottom of that rabbit hole? If I am one of those five and I have been falsely accused and my reputation besmirched, I am retaining counsel to press for a public retraction.
If I do not get that, I am pursuing my further options.
I doubt that comments on Aging Rebel have much impact, if any, on the reputations of the fellows accused of being police informants, so paying a lawyer for a retraction is, IMO, a waste of money. Aging Rebel's reputation takes a hit for inaccurate reporting.
Amy Irene White also has an ongoing feud with Aging Rebel over accuracy in reporting. She covered the "unarrested were informants" statement in Rebel Without a Clue..., on July 16th.
