So I guess his past claims that PokerStar's stiffing SNE players was just a "miscommunication" was itself a miscommunication.
And people still wonder why he is despised by poker players.
He's such a loathsome, repulsive, sad little man. He defended the company while pretending to be helping the players in order to reduce the amount of flack he was taking. He was NEVER going to resign- he was just trying to appease players and make out it was simply a "communications error." He is a deceitful, disgusting and vile wimp, who did a reasonably good job convincing ignorant, [mainly] recreational players that he was this cheerful, fun chap who cared about players and the so-called "poker ecosystem." He was happy to pocket his pay check in exchange for propagating the the vomit-inducing propaganda fed to him by his handler, Eric Hollreiser.
I wrote and talked a lot about all of that crap at the time. Bringing back those memories has just made me puke in my mouth.
