Defending Mike is all the proof you need that Justin was his accomplice. Being a tournament director who knows poker, he should easy conclude that Mike cheated by watching the videos. If you want to really scare Justin, right a letter to the Irs saying there may be an extra $100,000 laying in someones safety deposit box. If you want actual proof, get a copy of Mikes tax return and see if the whole $250,000 was reported.

The reason why so many criminals are caught for tax evasion is that they are good at covering their tracks and surrounding themselves with supporters. I hope someone with knowledge of Postle's use of Stone's workers to cash him out to avoid taxes will come forward and report him to the IRS. I think they can look back for five years, so Bart Hanson or Veronica should at least report what they know. This is a better use of our time than trying to calculate his exact winnings or improbable plays.

Yes. If they don't then it's just public stunt.

So, get some minimum wage workers on the hook for a federal offense?

Information is out there already. Now innocent minimum wage workers are in hook because of these accusations. Can easily affect their abiility to get a job.

Justin assured me that a company was coming in to check the servers and to make sure that the security was good. But I saw no evidence of that. He kept reassuring me that there was absolutely no cheating going on and I trusted him.

He also spent a lot of his free time gaslighting me, swearing that there is nothing going on. Saying that if there is cheating he would quit. Telling me how good of a guy Mike is, and how I am wrong.

I believed him! So did Kasey! Justin wanted me to put Mike in my game. Do you know how much I doubted myself after talking to him? And how much I trusted him? I would never in a million years have believed that he could be helping Mike.

But I was wrong.

He was helping him the entire time. It’s why he kicked out Roger Bailey from managing it, it’s why he had the head of I.T. kicked out of managing the tech booth. He wanted full control.
This is a nice pull from the article but it really doesn’t answer the question. Sure, jfk was “gaslighting” her but why did she continue to take the affirmative step of inviting a suspected cheater to her game? She could have not had enough seats for him or some other excuse to not allow him in her private game but did not. Why?

I’m sure it’s analogous to a recent conversation about getting in a car with someone you know was drinking. Sure it was late, you were far and you did not think he drank that much (he was good action, funny, drew viewers).....but you still can’t provide a “good reason” you got into the car with a drunk driver.

PLIKITYPLAK:

This is the reason why most cheats (eventually) get caught: They get greedy. They start off stealing small amounts. As they continue getting away with it, their confidence grows. They convince themselves they are invincible and their victims are too stupid to figure it out. (If they're somebody like Mike Postle, they probably think they're brilliant.) Once they get away with it once or twice, they increase the amount (and frequency) of their thieving - until they are caught.

If their thievery is truly large and spectacular - and/or there is a violent crime involved in the attempted coverup - we get to witness their downfall in an episode of CNBC's "American Greed".

It will be truly ironic if Stones and Postle escape relatively unscathed for the crime of cheating and theft only to wind up getting nailed by the Government for structuring.

Dear IRS:


Mr X, address unknown, SSN unknown, might have structured some cashouts on dates uncertain for amounts uncertain which might mean he underreported his winnings by amount unknown.



Thank you

rsamuels:

I'm not positive about this, but I believe the IRS offers a reward - a percentage of any recovery - to individual(s) who report a suspected tax evader. If the IRS investigates and determines that MP failed to report a significant portion of his "earnings," Veronica - or one of Stones "minimum wage" unwitting accomplices might net a tidy reward. (Has Bart or Joey or any of the others who have reviewed Postle's hand histories come up with a ballpark estimate as to just how much money MP stole? If the amount is in the hundreds-of-thousands to a $million$ ballpark and Postle structured - and failed to report - 90 percent of that; an informant might wind up with a nice check - and a letter of "Thanks" - from the IRS.

Yes, because his cheating is obvious to anyone looking back at the feeds. All Amy did was bring attention to it, the rest of us came up with the insurmountable evidence. Other then bringing it to our attention, anything alleged against Amy is irrelevant to the fact that MP did cheat.

Again, irrelevant to the fact on whether MP actually cheated or not since we now can all see that he did. You can't twist hard video evidence like you can twist Amy's actions. Sorry

You're right, that makes it even more suspicious. Why bet that large there with the stone cold nuts? MC made a great play to hide her hand. Little did she know that MP had already seen it.

Apologies I phrased this incorrectly. It's not a small bet for the pot size. However, it's a perfectly sized bet to call for a lagfish with a hand that looks VERY live when you only know your own hand...

Lol, yeah, great amateur play. Worthy of its own lawsuit.

1. Then you're actually pretty good at it.

2. After she suspected, yes, and this has been covered already. After she was convinced about the cheating, I'd say not. The session in which she clearly makes up her mind took place on September 19, 2019 (a link posted above). It's a little more than a week later that she gets the ball rolling with her Tweet and her video compilation.

Between that Sept. 19 stream and her going public with her suspicions, there are no more Veronica & Friends games. In fact, there are only three Stones Live cash games subsequent to that pivotal moment: a $1/2/3 on Sept. 23, a $5/5 on Sept. 25, and a brief $1/3 on Sept. 30. Postle is not in any of those games, at least from what I see.

3. I can't speak about the nature of Veronica's business relationship with Stones Live, but it's not like this was her full-time profession. So your question should have (at best) minor relevance to the allegations.

Regarding number 3, it is relevant. If they fired her, she would have incentive to make Stones look bad out of spite.
I just find it odd that she believes a guy is swindling her and her friends, yet voluntarily continues to help him do it by inviting him to her game for months after. Something just doesn’t add up.

And this whole, “Justin gaslighted me” doesn’t add up either. You’re smart enough to figure out the guy is cheating but fall for Justin duping you? A guy who is clearly not very intelligent. I don’t buy the babe in the woods routine.

Ever have a girlfriend who over a period of time said or did some shitty things to you, until one day you decided enough is enough and you ended the relationship? If so, why did you end the relationship on shitty thing #47 instead of #46? Or #35? Or #1?

I will wager we will never see him play poker again. He can’t. He will either getting crushed playing that strategy or he will revert back to playing solid poker and it will be obvious he cheated. He won’t be folding pocket Kings pre-flop.

There really much to say anymore. We all know. You have to be a serious troll to even try to defend him. Now the thread has devolved into personal attacks.

I seriously can’t imagine sitting at a poker table again. I don’t imagine anyone would be quiet about it. Or thinking when he checks his phone or touches his hat.

Maybe he will try to play again. Only way he can ever clear his name.
