I can imagine that dick Michael Fertik emailing Heide saying, "Hey, talk to ABC News! That way we can maybe pressure AA to take down the links!" Fertik was either 1) stupid to not realize that doing so would blow up Heide Iravani's Google presence in a not-so-good way or 2) purposefully put Heide in contact with ABC News with full knowledge that doing so would run the risk of her expanding her online footprint, all in order to get publicity. Fertik's a HLS graduate. I don't think option 1 can explain his behavior.

I think them going to the media was shrewd. Now everyone knows that it's complete bs that freaks are talking about Heidi, and hopefully it'll gain her some sympathy.
Reputation Defender is also dishonest. They charge $30 to "DESTROY" each offending iteming, claiming it to be an "arduous" and "labor-intensive" process, when in fact they simply mail a form letter to the webmaster. If that fails, they usually have no recourse. In fact, check out how Reputation Defender fucked up Ronnie Segev's reputation:
Some are. Even Michael Fertik admits that most of the stuff his company is asked to take down is true but unflattering information. Most are just dumb or ignorant, I think.

Reputation Defender is still a sleazy piece of shit company!
My favorite part is how Reputation Defender prominently advertises AutoAdmit on its front page and copies all the hurtful comments posters have made to Heide Iravani in its "Gallery of Horrors." Good job, dipshits!
Let's analyze Reputation Defender's results:
1) Heide Iravani's and Brittan Heller's threads are still up.
2) Heide Iravani and Brittan Heller are even more prominent than ever before. In fact, there's no doubt that due to Reputation Defender's actions every Yale Law School student knows about all the comments that have been made on AutoAdmit.
3) Heide Iravani's skeletons have been dug up. She has a felon for a father who got busted for stealing money to buy his daughter ponies.
4) ReputationDefender has gotten a shit ton of publicity, and no doubt a shit ton of money. Reputation Defender wins, AutoAdmit wins, Heide Iravani and Brittan Heller lose.
