Former FTC Commissioner’s Defamation Suit Questioned Over Unproven $108 Million Damages

In an ongoing legal dispute, former FTC Commissioner Joshua Wright is facing challenges over his substantial $108 million defamation claim. Wright, previously a professor at George Mason University, allegedly failed to substantiate his damages claim and subsequently exited a deposition session, as noted in a recent court filing in Virginia. The filing was made by two of Wright’s former students, whom he has taken legal action against following their comments to Law360.
