Econ Blogger Mish Fined 8000 EUR for Quoting French Blog's Non-False Analysis which Upset SocGen

``The Witch hunt is now over and I was fined nearly as much as Chevallier. It's absurd enough to fine someone for a quote, and even more so when the facts are accurate.'' -- This is another form of SLAPP action perpetrated by tantrum-throwing financial institutions (of which we are very familiar around here -- though in this case in the form of a bureaucratic tribunal; not even a lawsuit). Lucky for Mish, he can pretty safely ignore this and didn't have to spend any money.
