Subject: Cease and =esist/Professor Lawrence Krauss

Dear Mr. =ldous:

I am =riting as litigation counsel to Professor Lawrence Krauss. It has =ome to my attention that you and Buzzfeed have engaged in an outrageous =nd protracted defamation campaign against Professor Krauss, including =oth libel and slander. Buzzfeed's campaign has been =alicious, undertaken with absolute reckless disregard for the truth, =nd despite repeated disprovals of the falsehoods you continue to =armfully disseminate. Your defamatory efforts have also been =ndertaken, for reasons known only to you and your colleagues, with the intention =f tortiously interfering with the contracts of Professor Krauss, and =uzzfeed has unfortunately succeeded in this malignant purpose. We =ave both testimony and documents from a litany of well respected third parties that provide overwhelming evidence of =our and Buzzfeed's malfeasant attacks on Professor Krauss. =nbsp;We are still tallying the damage.

You and =uzzfeed will immediately cease and desist from further defamatory =tatements regarding Professor Krauss, and you and Buzzfeed will =mmediately cease and desist from any further efforts to tortiously =nterfere with Professor Krauss' contracts. If you and Buzzfeed are =nwise enough to ignore this notice to cease and desist from the actions =escribed above, the appropriate legal response will be swift. =nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, all legal rights are reserved. =nbsp;

If you have =ore harassing emails or any prospective communication you wish to =ransmit to Professor Krauss, you are instructed to send them to me as =e is now represented by counsel. If your or Buzzfeed's counsel, =homever they may be, wish to send me a letter in response to the above, be =ware that I may, depending on its contents and because I would be =bligated to forward it to my client, consider such letter to also =onstitute a trigger of the above and react accordingly. Professor Krauss has suffered enough abuse at your hands without =ommensurate consequences.

Sincerely,

Adam =aldman
