    I don't think it's 0.0.

    It's 0.0 if all the money goes to creditors, but putting that aside, I could easily see such a thing happening, if he's guaranteed no legal consequence from it (statute of limitations, etc).

    Hell, even OJ did a form of this -- or at least, he tried, and he was accused of far worse.

    The market for such a thing would be the general public, and not people like us. If Mike is guilty of what he's been accused, and he admits to it, that would make a hell of a lot more interesting documentary than the planned "woe is me, Veronica is an evil woman" version he's been peddling.

    Seems like somebody needs a letter from EB to correct the incorrect information regarding Your AntiSlapp motion etc. What she’s posted borders on slander/liable against you and EB and demanding a cease and desist as well as retraction is in order.

    So....they denied Postle's motion and gave him til the 15th for something? Did he file anything else? When do Druff and Veronica get to start selling his baseball cards?

    They have no clue what Mike Postle's assets are.

    Can they put a lien on his house? Not yet.

    It's very easy to transfer your property into a trust or to another family member.

    I seriously doubt that Mike will pay anything.

    At this stage, PokerStars might sign him on to be one of their pros.

    I believe he's renting his house.

    This is how Druff feels towards Postle now.. (or actually probably when it got to the AntiSlapp)

    Actually, you should hope he runs deep in a tourney, then immediately put a lien on the proceeds, or even hire a “keeper” to collect them on the spot. If it’s in Nevada you’d have to get a sister state judgement in place first to do it. In California, you could file a notice of judgment lien in LA county if he ran good there.

    The website (REDACTED) that the lawyer owns appears to be private now.

    He submitted an amended creditor list, including his mom.

    So what happened Druff? Haley Just posted the involuntary petition has been dismissed at the behest of you and Brill. It says it was confidential but can we at least find out if EB is getting paid or not or if this went down a rabbit hole and blew up in EBs face on the involuntary bankruptcy. Certainly hope that isn’t the case.

    It was a confidential settlement of the involuntary bankruptcy, so this is the one thing I can't discuss. Sorry. I will say that the entire situation hasn't been settled -- only the involuntary bankruptcy part.

    Hmm so that sounds like EB lost this battle but the war is definitely still on. Now it gets serious trying to hunt down assets you can attach liens to try and recover funds. Not gonna lie this sucks honestly because it seems like for the moment that cheating fuckstick has the upper hand in not paying ya'll.

    Unfortunately with someone like Postle, at his older age and lack of regular employment, it's not going to be an easy chase and certainly not cost effective long term. Even if you assume he has some hidden sports memorabilia of value, good luck finding that and/or chasing any proceeds if he were to sell them. I was skeptical that a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustee would have had much desire to pursue MP, and he possibly could discharge the judgment debts in a Chapter 7, so the bk would not have helped much anyway. Just my opinion.

    This may take more of a long term collection effort. GL!

    I also wonder if this is why we no longer hear the EB advertisement on PFA anymore.. Is there a bit of a rift between Todd and EB now because the Involuntary Chapter 7 blew up in EBs face. I read there was a potential issue because they were short one creditor possibly to force the Chap 7 something about needing possibly 3 creditors to sign on and Todd and Veronica only amounted to 2 and that was the grounds why it was potentially dropped.

    No rift between me and Eric. We were just texting yesterday about non-legal-related stuff.

    Also, nothing blew up in anyone's face. However, since it's a confidential settlement, I cannot give any details.

    Dude just stop it. Your trying to stir up shit where there’s no need to. Druffs told you 2X it’s confidential and he can’t talk and this was after that was even in the Poker article by Haley Hintze

    Confirmed this, and it's not for absolute certainty that the "numerosity" issue (the three creditors) thing is why Veronica and Brill dropped the case. But it was a complexity and it was specifically brought up by Postle as a possible defense. Postle actually got himself a real bankruptcy attorney, too, sometime in the past few months.

    Whether or not all of Postle's debts were legitimate as claimed was one of those things that was going to result in a drawn-out battle either way. One thing I wondered about when I saw Postle's list of claimed debts was how many of those debts he acquired after the scandal broke, which could have played into how legitimate some of those might have appeared in the eyes of the bankruptcy judge. But the public likely won't ever know those answers.

    Meanwhile, Eric has another poker-connected case to work on as well, as he's the lead attorney in the class action brought against PayPal that began with $12K in DFS fees seized from Chris Moneymaker.
