Starting at about 22:15 of Episode #10 of Joey Ingram’s investigation of this matter, Ingram discusses the lawsuit, including mentioning the reported reputation of Postle’s attorney and the likely legal strategy behind that seemingly ridiculous comment by that attorney. Turns out that his attorney is very experienced with both prosecuting and defending fraud cases and has a tremendous legal reputation in that area. And that it is a common used lawyerly tactic to make such “blustering” comments for public consumption to help sway public opinion before a trial even though it would have zero point zero evidentiary value within the courtroom in a trial.

I don't think I mentioned this yet regarding the Verstandig-led lawsuit against Postle/Justin/Stones.
One of the attorneys listed in the filing is Kelly Minkin.
Yes, THAT Kelly Minkin.
I learned earlier this year that she was an attorney, but I had been led to believe that she was non-practicing -- at least since she got more into poker.
Then suddenly she was listed as one of the attorneys working with Verstandig.
What?!
Apparently she joined Verstandig's firm "a few months ago". I don't know how much actual litigating experience she has. It's possible Verstandig added her simply because she's an attorney who understands poker, so she can be useful in that regard. Of course, Verstandig is also an attorney who plays poker, so is another one really necessary?
Overall, I have respect for Minkin, but I really don't like her social media presence. It screams, "Smart, nerdy girl trying to act hip so you think she's cooler than she actually is."
I mean, her Twitter screen name is @The_Illest, and that's not trying to be ironic. Then there was the awkward white girl rap she did to open one of the days of the WSOP Main event this year.
She has enough going for her (good at poker, smart, pretty) to where she shouldn't need to put on this stupid act to impress people.
Anyway, that's my small nitpick for the day.
Carry on.
That was my thought. I won't claim to know her life history, but I had always believed she was a poker pro, which was why hearing her law school resume was surprising. But I had never seen her identify as a lawyer who just happens to also be good at poker.
Anyway, maybe Verstandig brought her in so he can have someone on staff who understands poker even better than he does, as he admits he's a mediocre player. But at the same time, you don't need to be a great player in order to understand legal issues involving the poker community. Not really an important discussion to be having here, but I just found it interesting.
no, sorry, they don't. what they have joey, doug and the many others calling him out.
i'm not saying he's innocent, because he isn't. i'm saying they have no proof of the wrong doing as of now.
data and video of him of how he should/should not play hands and a redick potripper win rate is what they have.
he should be barred from casinos but i doubt it. maybe stones as they try and save face. but i don't believe russ hamilton is barred from anything.
as for jail time. no chance, unless he was working with somebody and they implicate him. you can't prove he did anything
what joey and that blonde chick needed to do is keep their investigation under wraps and catch him in the act him on phone or planting a mole next to him to swipe it in the act.
them blasting all this poker cheating stuff all over the internet actually helped postle.
if i were postle i would be more worried about certain parties/players he ripped off. i'm sure he did it to a few unsavory types that have a violent streak in them.
Don’t disagree Kerstetter would’ve been a better choice she also works for the law firm and has actually done some legal work lately as I understand it vs Minkin who I don’t believe has done any recently. (Kerstetter has done more commentating then playing the last several months other then a PAD she did recently on PokerGO)

They're getting trolled pretty hard in response.
It's been 4 weeks, and the "investigation'' has not resulted in any statements yet.
watched all of ingram's live streams and read the whole fucking 2p2 thread and it's insanely clear that this guy cheated hard and some motherfucker at a local tourney today was like wellllllll they still can't really prove anything. people are so fucking clueless
Justin Kuraitis has responded to Mac Verstandig's lawsuit. Apparently Justin has not been served yet, but Mac requested him to waiver service in order to "save expense". For reasons unknown, Justin has agreed to this (maybe so he won't be responsible for service fees if he loses?)
He has until January 8, 2020 to response to the summons.
Update:
"Independent" investigator Michael Lipman is now representing Stones Casino in the lawsuit against them.
Oops.
