The lawsuit stemming from our post from last year, "10 Confessions Of A Cash4Gold Employee," is all over. At the beginning of February, Cash4Gold stopped suing the two ex-employees Michele Liberis and Vielka Nephew.

UPDATE: Here's the video! Unless I get bumped by some zoo zebras giving birth or something, set your DVRs to "posterity" for tomorrow morning, 7:30, Today Show, NBC. They are skewering Cash4Gold and other mail-in gold places and you'll probably have the thrill of seeing me for a few nanoseconds. All joking aside, it's great this issue is getting more traction (Congress-critter calling for FTC probe, NYT and NY Post article). Good stuff. More »

What a year! Consumerist got sold, sued, and dished scoop after scoop, we relaunched on a new platform with a new look and mascot, and held our first reader meetup, we became a non-profit, and started taking donations, got invited by the White House to interview top administration officials (several times), and were entered in as part of the Congressional record, hired new folks and bid adieu to dear friends, got some snazzy plaques, and for this first time had a story that we broke receive massive global pickup. We couldn't be here without your support and story tips, or the generous patronage of Consumers Union. Here's to even more pro-consumer ass-kicking in 2010, and a look back at the 22 greatest Consumerist posts of 2009!
