Below please find an updated Toray vs. Paknis abbreviated timeline, dated 10-14-2024, explaining why Toray Plastics America (TPA) sued me in Providence Federal Court in December 2018 and threatened my publisher with a lawsuit in June of 2019. The Goal in Writing Successful Leaders Aren't Bullies was for the book to be considered the universal go to source for people and organizations seeking protection and freedom from workplace bullying and abuse.   The book presents real life, yet scrubbed to protect identities, workplace bullying cases I addressed during my 25 + year long international consulting career.  The book was released in 9/2018 and was well received.  It gained an immediate and strong following until a  former client, Toray Plastics America, sued me in 12/2018 on false grounds, claiming a common reader could identify Toray in my book.  Toray also threatened to sue, in 6/2019, my publisher, unless they stopped printing and distributing my book.  The rights of the book we

My Constitutional Rights to Free Speech and a Fair Trial were Violated by Toray Plastics America

Below please find an updated Toray vs. Paknis abbreviated timeline, dated 10-10-2024, explaining why Toray Plastics America (TPA) sued me in Providence Federal Court in December 2018 and threatened my publisher with a lawsuit in June of 2019.

This is retaliation and selective repression." - Leopoldo Lopez Workplace Bullying Targets do many things right, like write books to address and stop abusive and corrupt behaviors.  This, of course, makes bullies jealous and irrational in retaliation. Summer 2024:   I started journaling and sharing the truth about Toray Plastics America's malicious and baseless lawsuit against me.   January 2024:   I submitted a demand letter to Toray Plastics America seeking payment and restitution for TPA'S Malicious Prosecution and related, extensive, personal and professional injuries, harm, and damages.
