Legal Question in Business Law in North Carolina

So whats your question? Are you asking can he do this? If so, sure he can sue you but he would not be sucessful as long as what you are saying is true. So if its true, feel free to tell everyone your ex-boss is an ex-convict. Of course there may be other consequences besides a law suit. For example if your ex-boss really is an ex-convict, he may decide to physically harm you if you shoot your mouth off.
