I didn't realise the Live Stream went that far back. So I just checked a couple of timelines for key players (and came across something pretty amusing....)
Taylor has been involved in Stones Live since at least Jan 30 2017 (and played there some months before). Had his own non-poker Twitch stream previous to this.
Lance, according to his LinkedIn, became Exec Producer in Sep 2017, having been a Stones dealer since 2016. He left the stream in April 2019, but continued to work at Stones (haven't seen a reason for this as yet).
The lead live tech stated he's been "on the Live Team since the first day" so 2015?
Justin joined Stones as TD late 2013/early 2014. He was previously TD at Casino Royale, Sacramento. Royale was shut down in Nov 2014 for failing to pay out nearly $60k in winnings.
So here's the amusing bit... In
this post Justin says he uncovered a player cheating in tournament (another poster suggests it was to do with removing Tourney chips).
He states in the post "I was the TD that caught the cheating player. Management was presented with the evidence and initially agreed with the assessment that the cheating player should be removed until it was over-ridden by the owner."
Also, the same year Royale was shut down there was a "bitter legal dispute" between the owners. Here's an local news
article about it - "allegations of fraud, document shredding and using casino funds for personal use".
The part owner getting sued was James Kouretas. Must be a coincidence he shares a similar surname to Justin Kuraitis.
