Marvin v. Shell Jay Marvin, a Chicago talk-radi
Post# of 8802
Jay Marvin, a Chicago talk-radio host, sued Janice Shell and two John Does over comments the three defendants made about him on the Raging Bull finance forum and from email sent by Shell to Marvin's employer, complaining about his alleged harassment of her. Marvin filed claims of defamation, false light, and tortious interference against the defendants in Illinois federal court in April 2002.
The court dismissed Marvin's original complaint due to Marvin's failure to show jurisdiction by establishing the citizenships of the John Does. Marvin then amended his complaint to focus solely on claims against Shell. Shell filed counterclaims alleging defamation based on comments that Marvin made about Shell on the Raging Bull forum.
In November 2002, Shell moved to dismiss, arguing that Marvin had failed to establish any of his claims. The court granted the motion in part, dismissing Marvin's claim of tortious interference, but retaining the defamation and false light claims. Also, at the court's prompting, Marvin formally dismissed claims against the John Doe defendants. In January 2004, the parties settled.

Powerful Warrior Joins Fight against Fraud
Shell has watched a lot of “highfliers,” just like LEXG and JAMN, in PennyLand over the years. After closely monitoring the microcap sector for more than a decade, however, she can recall few – if any – lasting winners that actually managed to hold onto those kinds of gains.
“An awful lot of them wound up halted or simply disappeared,” she says. “Some of them didn’t totally crash and burn. But I can’t think of any of them that actually succeeded.”
Shell sounded loud alarms about many of those companies with their stocks still soaring to fresh highs. She often came under heavy attack by investors, who resented her work on penny stocks they owned, in the process. But she ultimately managed to convert even some of her fierce enemies into outright fans in the end.
