Epic Poker League's treatment of Michael Di Vita - Page 8 - MTT Poker Strategy

Thanks for being so open Michael.

There are two things in your explanation that actually don't rhyme:

'Just a pat' on the ass (which is line you probably shouldn't cross with a 16 year old someone elses daughter anyway) and this passage:

Quote:

During that three years, I studied and educated myself. Instead of hanging out on the weight pile in the yard working out my body, I stayed in my cell and worked out my brain, my addictive personality traits, and my personal demonds. I learned who I was, and what I was all about.

It's rather vague, but taking it into the context of the whole story it almost implies that there's more to that pat on the ass.

Or was it really just allegedly a pat on the ass and do you really have pedophile thoughts?

It's amazing what women will due in custoday battles (trust me, I know). What gives doubt to the whole thing is...YOU WERE CHARGED TWICE. Looks REAL bad. This being said, epic is in the right to not let you play. Yeah...what if you did end up at the final table on a televised event? It would be bad for poker. At a time when we are trying so hard to get Internet poker legalized. Surely you understand this. However, they have NO right to not pay you the $20,000 that is owed to you! With all that's going on with FTP and millions owed, but yet they can play? Unless there is something in the bi-laws about keeping players winnings based on prior criminal convictions or people with questionable moral character, your law suit will be a walk in the park.

As a father of 2 young boys it's pretty hard for me to feel sorry for a guy who f's with children. I do think it's wrong how they let him play a satellite and then turfed him once he won. That just doesn't make any sense. Unless on the registration he didn't check the box off asking if you've ever spent time in jail for molesting children.

You're right.... I certainly do apologize to Mr. Aguilar, and to anyone else who may have been offended by my poor attempt at humor...

Mr. Martin REFUSED to debate with me live on the air on the QuadJacks.com broadcast... He knows the truth, and the knows that I can mess up Epic's
"spin" on this situation. That's why he won't allow me to join the show now.

Basically the QJ crew brought up fatalerror as a regular contributor and what Divita's response was. Divita then proceeded to start speaking in a huge hispanic/mexicanish tone dropping fatalerror's name a few times. What he actually said I have no idea because I threw my headset off and went to go eat dinner.

Compare and contrast with Michael's explanation

Some additional information:

LexisNexis article #1

LexisNexis article #2

Sex offender registry information

Banning, CA press release regarding the recent (dropped) 2008 charges.

He also apparently owns or owned a party supply store aimed at children, for what it's worth.

Someone probably should have warned you that I'm not a good person to have on your bad side.

If you look at the hearing conducted on or about August 20, 1994. You will see the "Violation of Probation" conviction for the allegation that Term # 12 of the Probation Terms was violated.

At that hearing both Dr. Nelson and Dr. Breneke testified that I had never missed a single counseling session. The "Violation" was that I had not received prior approval from the Probation Officer to switch from Dr. Nelson to Dr. Breneke.

For that, I was given the Three (3) Year Prison Term... It's all right there in black & white.

NOTE: Thank you to Mr. Dorkman (or whatever his name is) for posting that for me. I was having trouble uploading it myself.

So when you say Quote

" Valerie had Lisa come forward with allegations of Felony Sexual Battery against her, and a misdemeanor count of Child Annoyance (alledging that I gave her 16 year old daughter a pat on the ass). "

You mean quote

"DiVita originally faced eight charges, including
five additional counts of child molestation and one count of forced
oral copulation."

Doesnt sound like a pat on the ass to me ?
