That's not true. Both he and Chess.com both say that they have evidence to the extent of Hans' cheating. Both have asked Neimann for the ability to speak freely without threat of libel.

Ball is in Han's court.

This doesn’t make sense.

If they tell the truth, there is no libel, and they don’t need anybody’s permission to speak.

Apparently this (the idea that telling the truth is necessarily not libelous) is untrue in some jurisdictions? Or perhaps they fear that they are not 100% correct?
