Everyone has to make their own decision about what their own reputation is worth.
I've known Mike Postle a long time - more than 15 years, though I haven't seen him in at least 10 years IIRC and have rarely spoken to him over that time. But he's someone I've generally thought of as a friend.
That said, there's no way I'd vouch for him in a situation like this. Quite frankly, he looks guilty. But even without all that evidence, I just don't feel confident enough in how well I know him to make a public statement on his behalf.
Hearing all these old UB players I've known forever coming out in support doesn't really surprise me -- they've all been friends for years. But it does kind of make me wonder if some or all of them have also engaged in shady behavior (or worse) to get more out of their time at the tables.
And if not, they just don't seem to value their own reputations very much.
