The haters who had previously claimed the Grizzlies were playing five against eight all fell silent this time. Even the likes of Pierce had nothing to say.
After Xiao Hua's video appeared online last night, the likes of Pierce had said a few things, claiming it might have been doctored.
But now that the NBA had confirmed it, Pierce kept his head down and didn't dare say another word.
Bales naturally didn't dare speak up either.
At last, the whole world had gone quiet.
But while the world had gone quiet, Wang Yi had no intention of letting it stay that way.
His legal team had already begun suing Bales.
At the same time, they had also launched lawsuits against the other major haters.
Over the past few days, more than 130 courts across the United States, Canada, and China had held hearings on the haters' defamation of Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's legal team had gathered an exceptionally thorough chain of evidence. Combined with the damning proof of Xiao Hua's manipulation of the games, it was enough to establish that the people who accused Wang Yi of throwing games had spread false rumors.
In the end, the haters were found guilty of spreading false rumors, with irrefutable evidence against them. The least they faced was a fine of more than $10,000.
The worst offenders were fined and sent to prison.
As for Bales, America's biggest Wang Yi hater, the damage he had caused Wang Yi was so great that he not only had to go to prison, but also had to pay Wang Yi more than a billion dollars in damages.
That left Bales completely bankrupt.
This wasn't like what had happened to Stephen A. Smith.
Although Stephen A. Smith had lost his house, he hadn't lost that much money
