Why didn't the author sue? Feels like this is a case where if what he says is true then that's what litigation is for, no?

The author is not a party to the case but an investigative blogger.
Lawsuits can be very expensive. Even if you win.

I’ve given up on recovering tens of thousands of dollars in the past because it would likely ruin me to pursue it.

But in this case there's a multi million dollar company on the line, it seems appropriate.
