Email thread discussing legal outcomes and Peter Schiff’s response to Nine’s ongoing reporting of Euro Pacific Bank, including mentions of legal vindication.

Nine Network stands by its journalists after losing the defamation lawsuit.

After losing the defamation lawsuit, Nine Entertainment issued the statement shown below. Despite having no defense for the false allegations they made, and their discovery evidences proving their journalists lied and committed fraud, Nine stood by their conduct anyway. They indicated that the judge got it wrong, and reiterated the false allegations they could not prove, and had lied about for years. My lawyers said this press release itself was defamatory, and encouraged me to file a another defamation lawsuit against Nine. I decided that doing so was not worth the expense.

This was all part of a broader media cover up to conceal the fact that I won my defamation lawsuit. No major news organization reported that I won the lawsuit, including in Australia. Wikipedia removes any attempt by any editor to reference my win on my page or any reference that Mckenzie lost on his. Editors will not even allow Wikipedia to include any mentioned of the defamation lawsuit on McKenzie’s page, or even a link to the Federal Court of Australia’s website that confirms that he lost and the amount of the judgement entered against him.

Official Statement from Nine News

“We stand by our journalists – two of Australia’s most accomplished journalists in Nick McKenzie and Charlotte Grieve – and the articles, which were found not to be defamatory, will remain online. 60 Minutes accepts that the Federal Court found the program conveyed meanings that were not intended by the program, noting the barriers posed by the current state of defamation law in Australia to important public interest journalism. The Euro Pacific Bank was the target of the world’s largest tax evasion probe that resulted in many local investors being fined, and was a vitally important story to tell Australian audiences. Schiff’s bank was suspended in 2022 amid catastrophic regulatory failures. Nine will continue to monitor and report upon the tax evasion and money laundering investigation led by the J5 – a taskforce of tax chiefs in Australia, the US, UK, the Netherlands and Canada.”
