Why would a platform like 2+2 ever do that ?

Someone else, like maybe you, could write one and post it, perhaps.

Postle's "if I DID IT" book would have a lot of new information and juicy details. If anyone else were to do a write up it would just be regurgitated crap we already know.

Putting the correct questions to a guy who was specifically marketed as an attraction by a company defendant may indeed support drawing an inference as to the answer to the specific questions posed.
Isn’t it standard practice to answer “I do not recall” to questions you don’t want to answer but have to? In theory you are obviously not allowed to say that if you do know, but there’s basically no way to proof that without evidence or to refute selective amnesia without a lie detector.

But at least it would be consistent with publishing books from lowlife scumbags.

The last book we tried to promote was The Theory of Poker Applied to No-Limit by David Sklansky and it has done well.

Don't you think that if we knew the problems ahead of time that book would not have been published by us?

We don't promote the book in any way and have averaged sales of 1.4 books a week this year.

Saying under oath that you "don't recall" X can lead to an indictment for perjury. A lie detector is not how proof of perjury is established. There may be conflicting evidence, tapes, other witnesses, etc.

If I recall, with the memory aid of the NYT, John Ehrlichman testified under oath that he did not recall telling someone that raising Watergate hush money should be kept secret. He was indicted, convicted and did time for perjury, among other counts.

Also, where the thing "you don't recall" is so unique and would have been clearly significant, you may be inviting a perjury charge, based on the question and follow-ups.

For a hypothetical example, asked under oath whether you recall telling Justin that you had trouble with the format of the live data feed he was sending your phone, I would think either a truthful statement of "That never happened" or invoking the Fifth likely is a better answer than " I don't recall"" .

This is how you go to jail for extortion and are never able to get paid back. You will really show them who is boss by doing five years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon!

I concur.

This feels incredibly wrong.

We can watch hundreds of hours of a player stealing money from other players on video and there is nothing can be done except for shaming him which really doesn’t mean much.

The slight upside is that this should increase security (pray) so this doesn’t happen again.

I feel for the players that got robbed in a licensed casino. Completely helpless and nobody cares to rectify an obviously rigged game.

Sadness.

For those of you who are thinking about talking to police etc...I suggest watching this video...entertaining and educational.

You're looking at this from a half glass empty perspective. If you view the glass as half full you'll appreciate that poker players appear to have the easiest time stealing from other people on planet earth.

They need real proof and they are sorely lacking it. You also have the casino saying they investigated and found no improprieties.

At least this was exposed. Sucks for the players.
if this case was not dismissed we could have had discovery. We could have subpoenaed the phone records of both mike, Justin and Kenny...possibly Taylor too. We could have scraped the servers.
I think that all will happen though with the Nevada case

If the 88 plaintiffs had stopped playing in the televised game instead of waiting for the show to be canceled they would have more credibility.

Are you serious? That’s weak. That comes across as petty and personal.

Casino absolutely failed in their duty to provide an honest game. I have (had) a 100% expectation that a licensed casino would do whatever they could to protect players. Legally.

It was in their business this crime went down. They profited off of it. They marketed him. They did an investigation. A weak one. It was 99.99% certain there was something amiss. Any experienced poker player could tell.

All I can is regardless of an antiquated law, this feels very wrong. An injustice tossed back in our face. It hurts my faith in the United States of America. That is there is zero literally recourse to someone stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars on camera from dozens of people.

I am in shock. Black mark on the US.

I didn't realize she played with Postle all that often. Is her claim she suffered damages as a player?
