1. How much would you pay counsel to file this action on your behalf ?
2. Would you like a referral to a firm in Chicago which takes on contingency work against online gaming companies' assets ?
Thanks for answering.
I'm not not sure if the questions you pose are rhetorical or are directed at me. I have no interest in getting involved myself, just curious as to what can be done. It would seem that by the amount of money that was stolen, it would be worth it to the affected parties. The problem is, poker players are more likely to not be litigious because its kind of a buyer beware type situation. They can rationalize not suing because they figure they could have lost regardless. Also, I am less concerned with suing the company as I with suing the actual entity/person that implemented the cheating. It would be easier to prove a preponderance of evidence exists that the cheater had malicious intent to defraud than it would to prove that the company was negligible. If nothing can be done to the cheater in a criminal court, I would like him to not be able to make another dime in his life without it going into someone else's pocket.
