You know, i think there is a new law that if you slander someone on the internet, you can get arrested... Keep it up
Who would arrest anyone? Cia, FbI, Interpol, IRS, HSM ? With all the cheap cloaking programs available on the web, even this post could be coming from BFE(gypt) Slander is a civil matter anyway.

Defamation of character is civil and criminal but it is rarely criminal. Also in this case it would be libel not slander. Slander applies mostly to speech, libel applies to a fixed medium.
That site is/was definitely libel and could be pursued in court. It is so because the guy is obviously making up 'facts'. However if you make a site about Felix that has true, proven facts and opinion you cannot be sued. To prove libel you have to prove that the person who wrote it knowingly made a false claim with the intention of harming somebodies reputation. The word false is key here, If it cannot be proven that you knew the statement you made was false at the time of making it you cannot be held legally responsible.
Also opinion is not libel, I can say:
"I think Felix is a low life parasite who feeds off of naive traders."
If it is opinion it is not libel.

lol.... wait you have so much class I am starting to believe all this stuff you are saying about Tom and Felix... a person like you would never lie right
Slandering on a public forum is not against the law. Nor is creating an opinionated thread. If he were to put up personal details of someone (like tom) he would then be breaking the law, and he would be fined. And open to any form of sueing.
