I'm being sued by Mike Postle, as are ESPN, Doug Polk, Joey Ingram, Bart Hanson, Phil Galfond, Matt Berkey, Daniel Negreanu, Jonathan Little, Veronica Brill, Haralabob, and Pokernews

1. Guess he didnt sue PFA Inc. because he knows that this site operates at a loss.
2. Hope you hire some really fucking expensive lawyer to make this piece of shit bleed out the ass when he has to cover your legal fees...hellllllllllllooooooooooooooooooo attorney beensmokin'!!!

Might not have sued PFA because it is a news outlet and may have additional defenses.

Let's hope the big names carry the load .

Everyone is going to try to be excluded.

Welcome to the discovery everyone wanted.

Is Mac going to be sued for malpractice? It appears that he is the only one that thought Stones' investigation was adequate and set them up for this.

Duff has too much money anyway.

The weird thing is, as big as this story is, especially to Druff, he might actually not be able to say more than a few lines about it on the next radio. That's super strange.

Correct. I will not be able to discuss this lawsuit at length on the next radio show (or any radio shows in the near future), since I am one of the named defendants.

Let Brandon host a show and speculate about what's going on.

Some thoughts based on my experience:

1). He sued you to get the info on posters on this forum. Discovery Requests will prove this out. Will you keep their info private? Or will you release it to him? He will try and go after your forum posters. He will shake the tree to see what falls out.

2). He sued you to intimidate and shut you up. And you will fight an inner struggle to be who you are vs. limiting your comments. Not knowing the Defamation laws of your jurisdiction, I would suggest you follow the advice of your counsel.

3). You’re a smart guy. Think things all the way through before you react to what he does, and you’ll come out just fine in the other end of this.

A guy dumb enough to think he can outsmart cheating a casino would be dumb enough to poke the forum where all the natural trolls with fringe connections to the poker world congregated

What makes you think he tried to cheat a casino? Many folks think they were in on it.

You missed the point. What he is saying is that this forum houses people who could make Postle’s life unbearable with zero trace. He is suggesting that he isn’t smart enough to realize he is poking the wrong bear even though Druff is above board and will handle everything correctly.

[TheXFactor]

Druff should countersue Mike Postle for being an insufferable asshole.

A guy has to be scared of internet trolls 24/7. Twice in my buying/selling sports cards on Ebay adventures guys have tried to rip me off, I threatened them with copious trolling "which I will enjoy very much" and they folded immediately

Do you still buy cards? I’ve got a bunch I’m thinking of selling.

[Tellafriend]

Druff you likely have an umbrella policy. Reports the claim to them. They may cover it.

I'm the oldest and least known out of all the defendants.

Is that enough to get it dismissed?

I think your on to something here but change the angle a bit. Tell the judge you run a 8th ter forum and only 8 of us heard you bash postle

Deep pockets will draw the most attention. Start burying your Bitcoins in the backyard.

[Dan Druff]

Looks like Veronica -- who is very likely the shallowest-pocketed of the defendants -- is covered for her legal defense.

Very generous of Bill.

[Dan Druff]

BTW, there will be radio tonight (not Sunday, as previously stated).

If you are looking for hours-long discussion of this case, you'll be disappointed. As I mentioned earlier, I am now limited as to what I can say. However, I will not ignore it. I will do a short segment on this, and then move on to our normal topics.

This lawsuit also will not change how I cover other topics going forward. Regarding the way I handle everything else, it will be the exact same as before.

[RealTalk]

Where is BulletBill when we need him to post all the info?

[Dan Druff]

I have made a decision regarding legal representation, and it will be announced on radio tonight.

[Dan Druff]

Here is some press regarding the situation:

Earl Burton's Pokernewsdaily article: https://www.pokernewsdaily.com/mike-...endants-33983/

Cardplayer article (which is the lead article on the site right now): https://www.cardplayer.com/poker-new...and-defamation

I don't expect Pokernews to do an article, for obvious reasons.

[badguy23]

Get over it

Soon we will both be getting Sued by KFC..




U think I'm kidding?? Stay Sued.

[Forum Wars]

I don't know enough about the legal system in Cali, but why would Postle not create 13 separate cases here and individually go after each of you for a varied specific list of things that you he claims y'all did to him?

Since there is no way in hell this hodge-podge group of 13 companies and individuals will every be threatenable as a <group that conspired to work together to hurt Postle>, why create a catch-all complaint?

It's probably cheaper this way for one (legal firm is on retainer, maybe just "helping out a friend") but by creating any kind of threat of going after his detractors for BIG MONEY, Postle may think he is effectively sowing the seeds of doubt about his errant ways in possibly a few members of the public who have not been following the case and don't really think one way or another whether Postle is guilty of cheating.

Perhaps Postle is fully aware this is a sham that won't go anywhere but he thinks it will help his reputation (and supposed upcoming documentary about him that he is somehow helping produce) by doing this very ballsy, flippant thing.

Remember when he went on Mike Matusow's podcast and spoke about everything before he had his court dates? That wasn't smart.

I hope the 13 defendants can go after him for more than just an Anti-SLAPP shot. Surely he is not thinking about what can happen to him for doing this, but don't be going up against rich poker players..it's good advice that Postle is again ignoring. The hubris...
