Integrity issues of the site it seems. Tamper...proof

Funny, you misread the certificate of service. Greenberg attorney Belfield is representing Tiltware and company. He has moved to be admitted pro hac vice to represent the company and the individual defendants. Further, he almost certainly drafted, or had the motion drafted by an associate at Greenberg.

Counsel on the papers is most likely fairly inactive local counsel...fyi

That motion is awful. A first-year law student would get a C at best for handing in garbage like that. No application of facts to law. No citations. Nothing other than a rambling set of unsupported conclusory statements. Just terrible.

If that was really drafted by a Greenberg Traurig attorney...wow. My opinion of BigLaw has fallen even further.

This could be a new poker TV show... "Poker at Court" "High Suing Poker", "World Subpoena of Poker", "World Poker Court"... Or something like that...

Lol you're right. I saw it on the proof and though GT was the other side. Wow @ GT.

In the most recent edition of Poker Magazine in Finland there's an interview of Phil Gordon in which he says that each member of the original team fulltilt has a piece of the company

And no, you wont get a link since the magazine AFAIK is not online anywhere... plus it's in Finnish anyway.

Clonie's filed an amended complaint to add 2 more defendants and 7 additional claims according to Pokerlistings. Any lawyer types able to find the new complaint?

The plot thickens

i can't wait to see how awkward it will be when she sits with one of the team full tilt people at a TV table.

Takes a lawyer that can log in to Pacer to get the documents:

I'll post a link later. She added new corporate defendants and a few new claims. She also filed a motion asking for expedited and extended discovery which would allow her to depose Bitar and Ferguson first and longer in order to figure out where they have hidden the money. She claims that they have been hiding the money from her. She paints Chris as the mastermind more and doesn't ask to depose Howard early.

didn't know PA owned part of tilt?

I have nothing against FT, but I hope the case gets to discovery - it would be very interesting to know what the company structure and ownership of FTP looks like and how much its owners make every year.

I believe part of her reason for the lawsuit is that those who are part of Team Full Tilt get 1% of the company.

Anyone can open a PACER account with a credit card, you don't need to be a lawyer.

I have a copy of the amended complaint, if someone can suggest where I could upload/host it to link from here.

Motion for expedited discovery (which was already granted):

Good stuff. Thanks. I think clonie is in for a big pay day here, if Tilt go ahead with this case they will have to disclose a lot of information that they obviously would not want to. And even then its not a given they will not lose. hope its not the case because I would like to see this play out and FT's operations made public but a confidential settlement looks pretty likely here.

What is really strange is why Tilt thought they could just not pay her and get away with it. must be a reason.

I really don't think Ferguson and Lederer are crooks, I think Gowan may have had some kind of verbal promise from Bitar and she didn't get it formalized. Dumb. I too look forward to any information that comes out of this.

Ummm maybe they dont owe her anything,and Gowen is looking for a payday.

Maybe they are very confident in their case and dont want to "pay her off" just for the hell of it.

Just a random thought.

Cliff notes:


The 2 questions I have if all the other owners started getting their payments,and they somehow just cut Clonie out of the loop why?What would possess them to do that?There was obviously no bad blood or nothing happened from what I can read,and they just all of the sudden cut her.....and only her out?

The other one is that Nov 2007 they told her they werent giving her any money(because they obviously thought she didnt have ownership) and yet she still represented then for an entire year knowing this,and THEN took action after she was informed she was being removed from FTP.Why didnt she take action before that if they told her they werent going to pay her and wait until she was canned?A year is apretty long time to carry on and if someone told me I wasnt getting the % I thought I deserved there would have been action very shortly afetr that......not an entire year later AFTER I was fired.

Did she not have conversations with anyone in that year that reiterated the fact she wasnt getting anything?

looks like she relied on the verbal agreement to her detriment (not pursuing any other opportunities).

ty for those cliffs

i only count 5 there.
but i grasped the concept back during the UB investigation.
