Under threat of legal action I was asked by the company with whom I have been in contact for months via telephone regarding this matter of substantial debt to post a retraction of this information that appeared in this original blog post.
I did allude to this debt online and in some private correspondence with a supporter of the McDonalds prior to email corroboration of the debt and the publishing of this information.
Apparently, shortly after I shared this information with that supporter, a partial payment was made after what I understand to be 4 years of non-payment.
But this now unnamed company states that unless I publish this retraction I will face legal reprisal. The email sent to me today states:
Please do your best to have this taken down immediately or you will be facing legal action from Mr. McDonald.
I am thrilled that Mr. McDonald has made an effort to do the right thing and redeem his witness with an unbeliever by making good on this debt. I pray that God richly rewards Mr. McDonald and his family for doing the right thing, both financially and with things that money cannot buy. May he be blessed exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think for doing what was right and good.
May we all learn that "truth is an absolute defense against charges of libel or slander."
