Paul Batista Calls for Criminal investigation of Drunken Sailor, aka Adrian Smith and Neil Ruut

Because of my television appearances over the last twenty years, the several books I have written and many of the genuinely high profile cases I've been involved in, there are at least 500 entries describing me and my activities on Google and the other search engines. 99.95 percent of them are favorable.
Yet this lunatic, Drunken Sailor and his various aliases and allies, continues to post malicious lies about me. Why? For the simple reason that I have represented Empire Energy Corporation, a wholly legitimate oil and gas drilling company based in Tasmania, and its Chief Executive, Malcolm Bendall, for four years in a straightforward civil case in New York. Ironically, it is an ongoing case in which I have been so far successful every step of the way.
I have no idea who is paying Drunken Sailor and the other aliases or allies he uses to mount this malicious and sustained assault on my clients' integrity and the integrity of anyone and everyone associated with Empire Energy and Malcolm Bendall. And, of course, my integrity, simply because I have mounted a thus far successful defense against the claims of two Chinese conglomerates operating behind the veil of a non-functioning entity named Smart Win, which is nothing more than a name on the door of an office in Hong Kong.
As I understand it, Drunken Sailor, who claims to be one Adrian Smith but who is likely to be a fugitive from Australian justice officials named Neil Ruut, apparently lives in England. In the past, I've ignored his absurd negative commentary about me because he is so obviously a deranged crank whose attacks on me are self evidently absurd. For me to address him or respond to him would be like a lion bothering with a gnat.
But now that he is resorting to outright lies -- including the blatantly false claim that I no longer have a license to practice law -- I would do everything in my power to bring him to justice in the United States, including a request for criminal prosecution, if he were here.
But we are dealing with a coward who projects many false identities to malign me and other completely honorable men who have any connection at all to Empire Energy or Mr. Bendall. If there are any steps that can be taken in England to track down the malignant coward, punish him and have the slate wiped clean, it would be a public service.
