In an interview with Sky Sports, Mustafa Ameen, the so-called "Mystery Man" of the DC Convention Center, says he'll sue Amir Khan if he doesn't receive an apology.
This has gone beyond all control, quite obviously. Go watch the full interview, because Ameen is a truly, um, interesting person when being questioned, and it's got a lot more than just this, but here's the snippet about the lawsuit from Sky:
"Amir Khan is going to have to apologise," Ameen said. "I'm going to tell you that I am already in the process - you are hearing it first - I will litigate this.
"I am already in discussions with some of the most successful legal firms in Britain regarding the slander, the libellous statements that have been made against me by Amir Khan and other individuals in the press and I intend to fully seek a remedy in a legal form, in a court of law.
"I will give Mr Khan an opportunity. Prior to me reaching the point of no return and filing a law suit, he has the opportunity (to apologise)."
I really have no words. For one thing, I don't want Mustafa Ameen to sue me.

A note: UK libel/slander laws are a LOT more plaintiff friendly than in the US. In the US, the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant either knew what he was saying was false or acted with reckless disregard to the truth, and that the falsehoods were damaging to the reputation of the plaintiff.
In the UK, as I understand it, the burden is on the defendant to prove that their statements are true. So Khan, if he accused Ameen of tampering with the cards, would have to prove that Ameen actually did so, or else the court could rule against him for slander.
Short version: Because of how unfriendly UK libel/slander laws are, this is a rather serious threat.

He’s a very trustworthy person. He works in the financial industry.
Nice use of oxymoron Mr. Ameen.
Still searching for an alive Dan Tucker.
