Supported by the submitted evidence, U.S. Light Group alleges that Fraker breached the agreement made between the two parties by only purchasing a fraction of the lightbulbs that he was contractually obligated to order. It is also alleged that Fraker stole trade secrets and other confidential information to use in direct competition with U.S. Light Group.
USLG also asserts that due to the Rip Off report, its reputation has suffered significantly. The company claims it has sustained millions of dollars in damages from missed investments as well as over a million dollars of advertising dollars that was spent ineffectively because of its now tarnished reputation. According to court documents, the report has been viewed over 1,000 times by customers, investors and distributors of U.S. Light Group.
Due to the damages incurred as a result of Fraker’s actions, USLG demands judgment against the defendant in the form of compensatory damages in excess of $75,000, punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees and costs, injunctive relief to specifically enforce the Confidentiality Agreement, injunctive relief to stop continued publication and re-publication of the libel, and any and all other relief, both in law and in equity that the court is empowered to grant.
