"Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it's okay."

Those words on a tweet resulted in a $50,000 lawsuit from a real estate company owning an apartment in Chicago. Now, it's resulted in the Streisand Effect.

Quoting Horizon Realty:

"We're a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization," [Jeffrey Michael] said, noting that the company manages 1,500 apartments in Chicago and has a good reputation it wants to preserve.

Smooth move, Mr. Sue-Happy.  Very smooth.
