BOSTON, March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Mon Ethos Pro
Consulting, LLC, a Massachusetts
based athlete and talent management firm, has won a judgement
against California based LaPhoto.
LaPhoto had claimed it was owed $20,000.00 for images taken of Mon Ethos
talent. Although Mon Ethos attempted to resolve the
exorbitant charge by LaPhoto, LaPhoto chose instead to launch a
social media campaign to harm Mon Ethos and Mon Ethos' ability to
retain other photographers costing Mon Ethos thousands of dollars
in damages.
A Massachusetts state court has
awarded Mon Ethos $7,000.00 in
damages plus court costs for LaPhoto's attempted extortion and
defamation. A payment review date has been scheduled. If
LaPhoto refuses to appear or to pay the judgement, Mon Ethos will
seek a capias warrant and enforce the judgement through its lawyers
in California.
Mon Ethos attorney, Joseph J. Balliro,
Jr. is quoted as saying "This was a horrible example of
retaliation and extortion. This should be a lesson to anyone
who thinks that they can use social media and their industry
contacts to force someone to pay what they demand or else. We
have courts that resolve disputes. Mon Ethos will not
surrender to these kinds of attacks. We will seek
justice."
