TransNexus to Subpoena 7 Nonparties in Defamation Suit Brought by Avid

TransNexus planned to serve subpoenas by Friday on seven nonparties in its defense of a defamation lawsuit brought by common carrier Avid Telecom and its CEO Michael Lansky, said a TransNexus notice Thursday (docket 1:22-cv-04829) in U.S. District Court for Northern Georgia in Atlanta. Avid alleges TransNexus published a transcript of a Skype conversation depicting one of the participants seeking to unlawfully mask illegal robocalls so they wouldn’t get flagged by federal investigatory agencies. But instead of identifying the actual Skype participant, TransNexus published a doctored version depicting one of the parties to be Lansky (see 2212080050).
