Just in case anyone else thinks like that, it was more a case of still needing to get evidence after talking to Kuraitis, as it was his job to get the evidence, but if he had proved incapable of doing that, then another investigative route was needed.
The timings of the cases will be interesting. 60 have settled the case against Postle, but 28 have not, so may do another case against him, with a different lawyer. A second case would have the advantage of having learned lessons from the first unsuccessful case. So if, speculatively, Postle wins his case, and then the second case goes against him, those found guilty against him could then appeal that they had been proved right. If the second case is heard before the Postle case as is successful, then his case would have to be dropped, as his appeal grounds would demonstrably be wrong.
So it does look more as though his case is a way to try to reduce those speaking publicly against him, in the run up to any second case.
A second case should look very carefully at the Stones technical Taylor, and at how many streaming sessions he was involved in that Postle played. The screen cards changed to cover up Postle's play, and that would only have been done by the op at the time.
It was interesting to read Lawyer Mac's statement that there was no evidence against Stones or Kuraitis, but he did not say that about Postle. This cheating could have been done by Postle alone, as he had access to the streaming equipment, or with an accomplice to transmit the cards, and Taylor would be the obvious suspect accomplice. Kuraitis may well have been involved, but only verbally, so unless one of the others admitted Kuraitis had been in on it, there would be no actual hard evidence to tie him, just circumstantial, with the way he defended Postle, failed to act on allegations against him (I have seen no evidence he ever did an investigation of the claims) then, if so, lied about investigating Postle.
Has Taylor done similar work at any other casino? Has any single player there had similarly amazing results in streamed games?
