Problem
Beachfront Supplies, Inc. has contracted with OceanWave Properties, LLC to provide signage for beach residents and beach attractions. The owner of Sandlot Industries had been in negotiations with Ocean for three months to be its vendor for the signage work. When Sandlot learned that it was not getting the contract, and that Beachfront had been awarded the contract instead, a Sandlot vice president began telling Beachfront officials that is should be careful doing business with Ocean, saying that it was well-known that the company does not pay its sub-contractors timely and that it exposes its sub-contractors to liability because it fails to maintain adequate insurance. Ocean learns of Sandlot's actions and files a lawsuit against them. Ocean wants to sue for either slander or wrongful interference. Under which theory is OceanWave least likely to recover?
