Justin was running their 2 twitter accounts before all of this happened. he is obviously back to managing their twitter. it's very much his style of tweeting.
it's amazing to me that he has been getting a pay check from them this entire time

I haven’t been following this too closely over the past several months, but when the story first broke I opined that Justin might not be involved in the cheating and that he’s just an almost unimaginable fool. Watching this little ‘victory’ dance of his has me leaning more towards ‘idiot’ than ‘cheater.’ It’s hard for normal people who don’t interact much with fools to appreciate how dumb people can be.

But again, I haven’t kept up with the news.

I kind of feel the same way. It's clear he doesn't understand poker or any of the evidence presented against Postle in the way he is adamant there is no evidence. I think he really does believe Postle is innocent however dumb that may be.

I was a plaintiff in the lawsuit and did not sign on to the settlement. I'm fortunate to be in a financial position where, for the amount that was offered, I can choose to remain principled rather than give any consideration to signing a statement that gives even the slightest indication that I think there was no cheating.

And the description as "indication" is an important point. The statement was negotiated by both sides, and while Stones and Justin are trying to use it to claim total exoneration, the statement simply says that no forensic evidence was found.

Because the case did not advance to the point where discovery could be used to obtain evidence, the extent of the forensic evidence was that which was volunteered by Stones and gathered in their allegedly independent investigation financed by them. Even in spite of that investigation raising red flags for a conflict of interest, the details and findings have not been been shared with the public or the plaintiffs, and only were shown to the plaintiffs' counsel after signing an NDA.

To Justin: From the outset I thought it was more likely than not that you were not involved. However, there is not any objective poker player (or even anyone who understands statistics) that does not see the mountain of suspicious evidence and think that something was amiss, let alone come to the iron-clad conclusion that you were able to that cheating did not occur. What investigation did you do to clear Postle when Veronica first came to you? Why did you tell players that the cell phone ban had absolutely nothing to do with anything that happened on the Stones livestream? Even if there were external factors in that decision, the presence of cheating allegations and your claimed to have looked into them is not absolutely nothing.

Others have said it already, but I'll end with this because it really should be your takeaway from all this: if you are innocent, you grossly mishandled everything -- from lack of transparency into your investigation, to your blanket denial rather than committing to always investigate any impropriety when the allegation became public, to you steadfastly defending Postle still to this day. Tying your innocence to Postle shows you really have no understanding of the situation. You owe all the players in the games and all the staff that have been affected an apology.

Just looked at Stones Twitter - https://twitter.com/StonesGambling

Clearly Justin has taken the reigns on twitter. I can't believe management hasn't had a sit down about "Public Relations / Customer Service" or sent him to a community college for PR 101 which sits Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm.

Just a thought: Maybe Justin wasn't involved? Maybe he didn't want to find anything during the investigation to save his job / reputation as a poker host? I mean... Mike Postle's plan is pretty smart, right? Justin is proving he's not very smart. Smart thief sees dumb casino boss and devises a plan with Person X in the booth / tech team... and dumb boss can't see the truth through the villain's (We've got a God in my poker room) fog and ultimately ends up on twitter defending himself like a child.

Maybe that child is not very smart and ultimately innocent?

Horrible PR. Shockingly bad. Weird.

This guy cheated in their casino. And continued to do it even after strong suspicions were brought to their attention.

Acting like they have somehow been vindicated and are not guilty is the exact opposite of how this episode comes across.

I will give Postle the last benefit of any doubt if he wants to do an interview. Better yet, numbskull, just play poker. Why wouldn’t you if you are one of the best in history?

You aren’t even a great criminal mastermind. You made this painfully obvious.

So true. "Godlike" skills should be on tour all over the USA, Vegas, if not the world. Rake it in.

Or? Only play while on camera in Sacramento. What a joke.

Would love to see him play today - at best a $1/$2 grinder that might win $250 but more likely to lose $500 per session.

And Stones? They would be wise to simply post the press on twitter (and remove Justin's log in credentials) that there's no wrongdoing (by court of law), and welcome back players with free Buffalo Wings throughout the month of September and October.

If Mike or Stones want to convince most people of their innocence, it would be easy. Release the internet/wifi logs or w/e. Or do these things exist as I am imagining? Would there would be evidence of the communication between the phone and the wifi that was distinct from, say, checking ball games.

From u/expertpokerstrategy on Reddit:

*sources have been whispering that a Postle indictment will be released in the next 24 hours. You didn't hear it from me.*

Rumor made for NVG.

This is all on JFK. Assuming even no cheating occurred, it is JFK's failure to ensure the no cell phone rule was enforced. Without cell phones, I don't think you have cheating allegations. No cheating allegations, that means Postle was on some kind of inhuman impossible to believe heater. Microscopic chance he derailed a real heater by failing to keep the table clear of cell phones. Who else was supposed to enforce the no cell phone rule?

Stones should just have Postle come back on stream and lets see how well he does when people are watching him like a hawk. My guess is that he'll be a big loser in the game.

I'm hoping in some way that JFK's nonsense violates the agreement which would allow the plaintiffs who signed to be able to talk about the case in public again.

Yeah it would be interesting to see. If JFK and Postle are really that adamant in their innocence why not stream again and continue to crush all comers? That would really shut everyone up right?

Wowzers, the main Stones Twitter feed is one thing, but the account's individual responses to the various comments is only slightly less childish than Ninja's Twitch chat. Golfnutt, you said it best with "shockingly bad."

I assume Postle is not banned from Stones and infact can go play on their live streams again?

I really hope this happens

Yes, I assume that now that the plaintiffs have agreed there was no cheating Stones is going to resume the live stream with Justin in charge.

Yeah, there's no video footage and the original estimate of paper that was ripped up was grossly inflated. So clearly innocent.

So Justin is still in charge of Stone's Twitter account and he has been tweeting about this from Stone's account? I wonder what he would have to do to get fired.

Maybe he would be a good TD for the 2021 WSOP.

Justin's tweets are brutal. Absolute cringe. He's recently gotten into a pissing match with Veronica about how much money each of them makes.
