I agree Noah has been very good through this whole FTP mess, but the latest article from S:P (it's not even posted by Noah i think) imo is pretty useless for the readers without more info or interpretation. It's logical that people are seeking for answers about what it means, since we don't know what it means/how it impacts things. I do not imply by that that it shouldn't have been posted, information should flow as freely as it can, just that it's kind of frustrating to read it without having any more info.
I guess you are referring to me, as I penned the latest article. All I can tell you is that it was a news piece, not Op-Ed. There is a time and place for both.
The news simply is that one of FTP's lawyers has asked permission to be relieved, in only the class action suit.. I gave you his exact words to the court.
In this particular action. Mr. Ifrah represents more than 10 defendants, and to be frank, it's not like going into municipal court for a speeding ticket.
He has been counsel for FTP et al for a number of other cases, and I never said he was ending their relationship or anything like that. AFAIK, he continues be one of the counsel in other actions pending.
Without telling you more than you want to know, if you click on the word "motion" in my piece, you will find his exact motion to the court. It clealy spells out the additional work he would be facing now, based on actions taken by the Plaintiffs. He also clearly refers to privileged information from his client.
There isn't much more to be added at this time. You can't expect him to risk everything and violate privilege to post on a poker forum. I don't.
