A Georgia-based pulp and paper manufacturer claims in court that Greenpeace is a "global fraud" that has lambasted it for years with sensational false claims for no other reason than to pump up its donations…

The plaintiff asserts that defendant Greenpeace and its associates, defendants Daniel Brindis, Amy Moas, Matthew Daggett, Rolf Skar, and Todd Paglia, developed a campaign called "Resolute: Forest Destroyer."…
