Whether he is to blame or not, or knew about it or not, he's been driving sports cars and living in houses that were paid for with that money (as have the others, of course). The least he can do is man up and tell what he "knows".

This is clearly just a ploy to get out of a tough, and possibly incriminating interview.
Ditto, I'm really surprised that he turned down the interview, and the only way that seems like a plausible explanation is that he knows he'll get roasted and didn't want to either incriminate himself or look really bad.

Because at least in my eyes he came off really well in the first two interviews and while he's obviously far from a victim, he portrayed himself well as someone that was put in a really tough situation that did the best that he could. You could almost kind of empathize with him from the story he wove.

But that is completely out the window now, which just must mean that there must just be a lot of damning evidence against him that he can't just try and brush off as he didn't know not his fault in an interview with someone that actually knew what happened.

I just want to say that in case anyone thinks that this first installment does not live up to the hype that preceded it, that its all part of a story that I am trying to do in as orderly a fashion as possible. All the small pieces will fit together as the story progresses. I promise.

I also agree with Mike Johnson that Diamond Flush should identify herself (and I have no idea who she is). This is especially true if you're going to be accusing someone of specific wrong doing (which is the way I interpret her comments). In addition, true identification gives you more credibility as readers can get a better understanding of exactly who you are.

Best wishes,
Mason
How do I know that you are who you say you are? According to Intelius you are the only Mason Malmuth in the United States. Am I to believe the male Malmuth's of the world were not fornicating and producing other Mason's?

I think you should divulge how much you have been paid by Full Tilt over the years. This is especially true if you are going to be making judgements about what other people should or shouldn't do with respect to discussing Full Tilt. In addition, full divulgence of how you profited gives you more credibility as readers can get a better understanding of exactly who you are.

Best wishes,

Perhaps because she has a full time job that has nothing to do with HL, plus has other things going on in her life that could be more important than volunteering her considerable services to inquisitive poker players. I'm sure she's going as fast as she can, and that even she doesn't think it is as fast as she'd like it to be.

If pointing out the obvious is a considerable service to poker players, perhaps everyone isn't so solid.
