Jed,
You are getting desperate if the Mafia is the only example you can come
up with. News to me that Rossi goes around threatening physical harm to
IH personnel.
As for Santilli, "It was then made clear to me (Film director John
Jopson) that if the footage was exposed as a hoax before the show aired,
the ratings would suffer."
Beats me how you think that is Santilli taking a victim to court.

I asked you for one example of the former who has then taken the
victim to court and you have not been able to find one.
Santilli! And countless other con-men. Threatening a lawsuit is widely
used by criminals, such as the Mafia in Italy. See:
http://www.newsweek.com/italian-mafia-intimidating-journalists-worst-levels-violence-90s-306352
". . . as well as the increase in mafia violence, defamation lawsuits
are also to blame for the lack of journalistic freedom in Italy. “When
a journalist knows that they could face a lawsuit between €5,000 and
€60,000, they may have more of a tendency to self-censor . . ."
