For better or worse, lawsuits in the U.S. do not have to have merit to be filed. Legal fees will be spent by all named co-defendents.
I studied law for a semester at Central Piedmont Community College
so pretty sure WPT could easily be a co-defendent as they are in the business of promoting poker tournaments, and reasonable to assume that they had or should have had prior knowledge of operators shady past, yet went ahead anyway.
I'm surprised that WPT licensing team agreed to get involved/stay involved in with the writing on the wall that it was more likely than not going to end badly.
