stones wrote a check for pennies and is free and clear after they investigated themselves and found themselves to not have done anything wrong.
No one was ever going to recover anything from Postle or Kuraitis. The only recovery, if any, will be from Stones. That will come in the form of a pennies-on-the-dollar confidential settlement in which Stones does not admit any wrongdoing or liability.
Kuraitis will be let go for "unrelated" reasons at some point if he hasn't already been.
VerStandig's firm will be the only party that comes out ahead in this when all is said and done. That's not a criticism of the firm, what they are doing needs to be done.
This is not what you want to hear, but it is what will happen.
One thing to take solace in is that if you hadn't been the canary in the coal mine, who knows how much more money would have been lost and how many more people would have suffered? With both this situation and others in the future.
You've saved a lot of people a lot of time, money, and pain. You did it at great personal expense, and you endured significant harassment to make it happen. Kudos to you for your honesty, drive, and tenacity; and may you never have to buy another meal ever again while there is at least one poker player in your vicinity.
