EL used to have a good guy, clean cut ,image on TV anyway! What he really was IDK. After swimming in the cesspool of High Stakes Gambling and FTP he is a bit tarnished to say the least. But who wouldn't be??

good in theory, it never happens in practice. a lot of times people who file BK will have debts they are not even aware of. debtors never get punished for not listing debt, unless it's some type of fraud.

yea woulda been nice to get a slice of the full tilt scam ..ol howie and ferguson et al are feeling groovy,like they livin in a movie...those who wound up w/o $$ when it came to a crash are fools asses. hahahah phil gordon where are u? poker needs u. hahahaahh

im glad sklansky,malmuth and mike caro are always here for us ,like a beacon onto the night....i wish the 3 of them back a poker site....why not 2+2 have a site? we all trust the brand.

I like the idea, but it would be a reg blood bath.

I have always found him to be pleasant.
Have played a decent number of hours at the poker table as well as rounds of golf with him in San Diego.
He is an addict, admittedly, and is working on righting things.

As a Hispanic male, I am just sickened with how much of a degenerate Lindgren is.

What the hell does being an Hispanic male have to do with your feelings about Lindgren??

it's the 21st century bro. get a clue!

In the other thread you were Middle Eastern
Thank god for mixed marriages these days

as an atheist, I believe eric lindgren is a real POS.

He comes from a variety of backgrounds:

LOL

Wow, that's a name from the past: Tim Teufel. If you know that name you'll probably be amused to know that Wally Backman came through town recently. I considered it an odd personal victory that he never complained about any of my calls in a four-game homestand.

put a plastic bag over his head

it definitely matters.

...21st bro

i take it you are an AAA umpire?

No, official scorer. We don't get complaints quite as often but there are certain managers who will call upstairs to contest a decision. For some reason, they tend to be the former MLB players: Ryne Sandberg (called me horse**** and threatened to have me fired), Brett Butler (never had a run-in with him but others have), Ron Hassey (very reasonable when he called) and Backman (see Butler). Tony DeFrancesco, who briefly managed the Astros, is another one.

But because I'm derailing this thread too far...

I should ask the collective something about Lindgren's Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I don't know much about bankruptcy and how it works. Does it mean his former creditors have absolutely no legal recourse to collect on their past debts (as they have been discharged)? And if not, does/will Lindgren have any incentive to pay back certain backers in an effort to build some trust later? Or does a degen like him simply not even consider these factors?

are there any updated cliffs since the OP? re bankruptcy and DN etc that i can gather from the last page or two.

if i'm reading between the lines right lindgren filed for bankruptcy to dodge his debts, yet somehow still lives the exact same life he used to? DN has his back?

As an African insurance adjuster that disgusts me

As a white man who suffers from irritable bowel syndrome, I am appalled by his actions.

You summed it up pretty well. See also Lance Bradley's cover story in Bluff:
http://www.bluff.com/magazine/broken...en-story-6094/

so i'm confused, the article mentions him still paying back money owed. does his bankruptcy absolve him of his outstanding debts or are they still active?

and lol, sorry man, that ship has sailed:
“I just want to get back to where my word, when I say something, it means something and I just want to get back to a level of full accountability,” Lindgren said.

any links to the DN side of things? as a player who champions himself as the moral barometer of the poker community to come out in support of lindgrens actions is weak sauce, no matter how friendly they are.

As a fullblooded Aryan I am sickened by the behavior of this fellow Aryan
