From what he said in the first 30 minutes, it didn't seem like there was going to be some big-ass
who-made-who? egotistical, legacy-based sh--storm in reaction to The Mouthpiece episode. I was a bit concerned that might happen b/c of the hyping & name-dropping that went on in those longform appearances with Jeff (APR 2020) and Joey (OCT 2015). But hopefully no worries.
There are a
lot of
very talented content creators/individuals who have
more than paid their dues and held up their end of the bargain on the Twitch platform... including within the Poker category. I'm happy Scott Ball left Twitch in 2018, as it means less grime (following Matusow's podcast) to be rubbed-off on the projects he was involved in. IMO the less Scott Ball is intertwined with collaborating within the category, or being aware of the goings-on for Twitch Poker, the better.
Just a bad situation all around, and I really don't know what to say about it other than I sympathize with the frustrations that have been expressed in this thread and by Mike Matusow. I looked into this originally b/c someone I think highly of virtually whispered in my ear about it.
Mike stated in that segment (video cued below --> 27:43-27:50) that the $1.5M-$1.8M is pretty much gone. With no chance of making it back. So idk wtf to say...

Personally I feel like this has run its course for the time being... at least now that the story has been relayed/timestamped and now that Scott has made a public appearance.
I don't want to be chasing after Scott Ball. There's no value in it from what I can tell. Plus, the moment I get on the phone/Skype here in Mexico and start whining/pouting (or simply cussing people out then hanging up), people are going to know about it.
I feel like I've personally dished out enough of some of that stuff over these past 5 years to last several lifetimes, and there's just nothing to be done (nor is there someone else to blame) as far as I can tell except to have someone "waiting on a wire" in perpetuity.
But obviously if someone else would like to follow-up or follow-through more thoroughly with relevant info, that's entirely that individual's prerogative.
