"America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers." -- William S. Burroughs
Agree with all your statements and this is why I believe a jury hearing this would have to surmise that the defendants acted in unison, as a sort of conspiracy, to taint our pure Postle fellow. How is this possible to prove? Yeah, Doug Polk and DNegs getting together with this Motley Poker Crew to shoot down some Sacremento 3rd or 4th tier "pro"...there's no motive to injure his reputation and there's no conspiracy.
Case will never get to a jury of course; it's designed to intimidate.
Hope it backfires big, but hard to get blood from a stone (no pun intended).
That's the crux of any libel lawsuit. It's not libel to simply lie based on information that you have. People do that all the time. You have to intentionally lie and do so for the purposes of defaming somebody. Even if Postle could somehow prove without question that he was innocent and didn't cheat, that wouldn't be enough for him to win a libel case. He'd also have to prove that the defendants had knowledge of this at the time they were making their accusations. He has no chance.
Hate to play internet lawyer here, but they don't need to prove that he cheated. Postle needs to prove that he didn't cheat. And he needs to prove that they knew he didn't cheat and decided to lie anyway for purposes of defaming him.
There's a reason it's very hard to win a libel lawsuit. It's a little thing we like to call, the first amendment. The law errs on the side of free speech. It's not enough for somebody to simply print untruths. If that was the case half this forum would be locked up!
Postle has no chance of winning this case. He doesn't even have the resources to make it all that difficult. I guess he's hoping people won't want to fight it and will just settle and he can claim victory that way? But he kinda picked on the wrong group of people. I think he's just delusional (please don't sue me for saying this, Postle!)
In that article it’s saying that Veronica has form for baseless accusations and that she was the one who got the ball rolling with this conspiracy to slander / libel him and therefore every other noted party is defaming him by association to her.
Kinda weak and where does this 330 mill come from it’s a peculiarly exorbitant and arbitrary number to pluck out of thin air is this guy a Freemason by any chance they love the number 33?
And it’s all well and good a bunch of GTO understanding poker pros analysing his unorthodox play and arguing he can’t sustain a big win rate playing like that but in a court of law that isn’t much of an argument when the judge and jury have little knowledge of poker and can chalk his wins off as a fish on a heater.
What’s in the hat is the main case of evidence but it can’t be proven either stalemate it is.
I’ve been thinking about this a bit.
I live a pretty lucky life now but that wasn’t the case when I was a kid. Getting away with cheating is one thing, bragging about it and doubling down is another.
There was always a few guys in the neighborhood who did this and they were met with a pipe or knucks.
Seems like a risky play on his part.
Postle has aready won by finding a shyster to file the case.
The defendants have all shut up, they are scrambling for $ to pay for their defense, and Postle is going to be in the movies.
So he is suing you and all of these other people for saying that MIKE POSTLE CHEATED?
This is a very serious allegation, the allegation that Mike Postle cheated.
Remember that truth is a defense to libel or slander, so to defend yourself, you and the other defendants can investigate whether Mike Postle cheated.
Me myself, I don't know whether Mike Postle cheated.
But you can put him on the stand in court to determine whether Mike Postle cheated.
His play at the tables raises questions about whether Mike Postle cheated.
His brother once commented that for his whole life, Mike Postle cheated.
But just because according to his brother, Mike Postle cheated for his whole life, this doesn't mean that Mike Postle cheated this time, so you will need to find some evidence that Mike Postle cheated.
Good luck finding the evidence that Mike Postle cheated.

Stupid question.
Since Brill is an atheist and nihilist how do you swear her in so she is subject to criminal prosecution if she does not tell the truth?
It appears that she has never had a pernicious thought she failed to share through Twitter, Facebook, a podcast, Instagram, or the press she is toast.
When this is all done she will have done more to damage the poker economy than anyone since the boom.
It became common knowledge that CA will not punish cheaters, the poker press has to be more careful in their reporting, and the cost of defense is going to drain the economy.
PS, $50,000 is a drop in the bucket for the cost of her defense. There are hundreds of hours of video, tweets, interviews, and podcasts that will have to reviewed at $150 to $500 an hour.

When did Brill say that she was a nihilist?
But to address the meat of your question...
Contrary to what religious conservatives claim, the United States of America is NOT a country based on a belief in God. Hence, the courts allows for those who don’t want to recognize “God” as the ultimate moral authority when being sworn in to give an “affirmation” that they won’t lie under oath.

The Poker Fraud Alert radio station and website owner makes the list by virtue of stating:
“The FACTS are that Mike clearly cheated” and “Mike is cheating…” as well as “…so clearly has an accomplice communicating with him.”
Witteles, who goes by the pseudonym Dan Druff on his PFA site, has already vowed to fight the lawsuit, describing it as “frivolous.”
