What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
So I played in a 16 team fantasy baseball league where the commissioner collected all of our entry fees at the beginning of the year. He was supposed to hold everyone's money in escrow and after the season ended he was supposed to pay the 3 winners but has failed to do so. He's given us excuse after excuse and we still haven't been paid for this league which ended last september. Now since I don't have much recourse, I have threatened to post his name and picture plus evidence of everything that happened on a couple of the major fantasy sports websites. I also said I would message his facebook friends to let them know what he pulled here. I was thinking maybe embarrassing the guy would help get me the money i'm owed, plus possibly saving other people from having this same thing happen to them.
Now he is threatening that if I do this I could be sued for Libel. Is there any way this could happen, even though he is the one who committed fraud and theft? Everything I plan on posting will be true so I'm not sure if this is just an empty threat but I thought I should check to be safe.
Also he lives in Texas and I live in Canada
Thanks
