BUMP
This has not been publicized, but Sahara is currently suing VitalVegas (aka Scott Roeben) for the false rumor.
Here's the filing:

They're only asking for $15k + punitive damages, which is surprising. I'd think they could demand more.
This doesn't seem frivolous. According to the lawsuit, they attempted to correct him, but he kept doubling down on the original claim, and kept asserting in various ways (directly and indirectly) that the closure was coming.
Ouch.
