I'm not a lawyer, and I don't necessarily want to get into what is sladerous and what isn't, but the statement of the person being sued in this case I can certainly understand as being slanderous.
Slander is, and rightfully so, something that you can be sued for. If this Orangecrust provides some evidence that his assertion that the managment of a company was blind, stupid, and incompetent, he will win.
It just goes to show that you can not just run around saying things about other people without possible reprucussions.
