Identify this tomato problem

My friend has soil grown tomatoes that has a problem. It's interesting b/c the plant is a Sungold and I have a clone from the same plant. My plant was removed from my hydroponic system recently b/c it never recovered from a droopy/wilty' leaf problem.

His Sungold plants leaves now looks like this:

It's the only plant that seems affected. I told him I could post it to the forums to find out what is up. I reccommended immediate removal but he doesn't want to b/c it as "healthy" looking fruit developing.

What do you think is going on?

There are a number of diseases that cause dark spots on tomato leaves and fruit. It could be Bacterial speck or Bacterial spot, which are almost indistinguishable without the aid of a microscope.

This is a site that has pretty good images of various tomato diseases:
