    That’ll come out during the case. I assume they have evidence, otherwise suing would be a waste of time. Unless some lawyer is taking them for a ride.

    You only do need 51% certainty to win in civil court, though, so maybe they think they can just argue it? Still though, I’d want some sound evidence before going to court. Unless it’s just a slapp-style suit, but that doesn’t really fit.
