Do not let this man keep his job people!
Yup, although we can't say for certain yet, it's definitely looking more and more likely that he was in on it in some way. Timeline of events....
Postle booked a win in 33/38 sessions in 2019. 3 of his 5 losses came between 6/15 and 7/24. Although he booked small wins in the 2 sessions prior (6/1 and 6/3) I don't think he was able to cheat during these games, but need to watch the full streams to say for certain.
By now, I'm pretty sure we've figured out how we was cheating except for the exact way the cards were sent to him (video on his phone, someone messaging him, direct access to the RFID system, etc.). But it's obvious he has something on his lap that he frequently looks down at it and has his hat tilted way down in front of his head so you can't see his eyes. If you watch the streams between June 1st and July 8th, he either wears his hat backwards during these games or does not wear a hat and has his phone out on the table by his chips.
Here's a timeline of events based on his results posted by js and Justin's location enabled on his tweets.
1/1/19-5/20/19 Mike P plays in 21 streams, winning about $105K and I believe wears a tilted frontwards hat in every stream, no phone on the table.
5/26 - 5/28 Justin heads to Vegas somewhere during these few days and as far as I can tell, does not return to Sacramento until the middle of July (7/12-7/16)
6/1-7/8 Mike plays on 5 streams wearing his hat backwards (4x) or no hat(1x) often has his phone out in front and loses $2700
7/12-7/16 Justin returns to Sacramento
7/20 Mike P returns to stream with frontwards hat and no phone in sight, wins $4200 at 1/3
7/22 need to watch this session but not sure if he was able to cheat or not that night. Wears a frontwards hat but weird up and down session and only wins $400
7/24 Back to the backwards hat and phone out, gets stacked twice for $2k and leaves game. I'm not sure what happened this session and possibly the 7/22 game, but something went wrong with his plan and he was unable to cheat that night. Worth noting that Justin is seen at the table shortly after Mike P gets stacked so he was there that night. This is probably the best evidence so far that Justin is innocent, although I believe something else was probably going on that made them lay low that night (ongoing investigation or concerns from other players, etc.)
7/31-9/21 back to the frontwards hat and books 9 winning sessions in a row, winning $55K.
I know none of this proves Justin was in on it in any way shape or form. It could easily be a coincidence that his time in Vegas coincided with the "external audit/investigation" or something else. I'm just saying a lot of these items seem suspicious and I think he definitely needs to be looked at closely.
