OLEG FIRER PREVAILS AND OBTAINS AN INJUNCTION AGAINST EVERETT STERN AND THE TACTICAL RABBIT IN DEFAMATION CASE

On July 7, 2022, the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida granted an injunction order restraining Everett Stern and Tactical Rabbit (“Defendants”) from:

1. Publishing any defamatory statements on the Internet or to any third party (including but not limited to, Firer’s government partners and business partners) regarding Oleg Firer.
2. By way of example of the prohibited conduct and to provide guidance to Defendants relative to same, Defendants are precluded from publishing any information suggesting or stating that Oleg Firer (a) is a Russian spy; (b) is acting at the behest of the Russian government; (c) is engaging in espionage; and/or (d) uses his businesses to fund Russia. This list, as noted, merely provides examples of prohibited conduct and is not exhaustive.

The order also requires the Defendants to:

• Remove their existing defamatory posts and tweets regarding Firer.

“The Court finds that the public has no interest in rewarding Defendants who act in bad faith, lie about an individual, and defame that individual to his business partners and employer. The public interest is served by not allowing a party to deceive business and governmental partners/employers looking for information on Firer, and is also served by assuring that Defendants lies do not interfere with Firer’s business and governmental relationships,” stated the Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge.

Mr. Firer previously expressed strong condemnation and opposition against these articles and disputed every allegation stated in the reported articles and the e-book. In order to refute the allegations, Mr. Firer vigorously defended his character in court against Mr. Stern and Tactical Rabbit.

“I am pleased with the court’s decision and recognition that Stern and Tactical Rabbit’s statements regarding me are ‘both false and misleading’,” commented Oleg Firer.
