Not surprising. The brand seems more about being cool than about providing a quality product at a fair price.Originally Posted by Bootsy Collins
In the past, when Bilzerian was involved with past controversies, it turned out he was in the right:
- When Joy Miller banned him and all Victory Poker pros from ESPN coverage because Dan had told a racially insensitive joke online, it looked like Joy was simply standing up for her own racial identity. However, Dan played a voicemail proving that Joy was just a hysterical bitch with a power complex. Then tons of others in poker (including me) came forward with their own stories of Joy using her position to abuse people, and she was effectively run out of poker. Win: Dan
- When Dan thew a stripper off a roof and she got injured, that sounded pretty bad. In reality, the stripper had clearly consented to be part of a filmed stunt where Dan would throw her into a pool from a rooftop, and she had actually caused it to go wrong by the way she moved her body while being thrown. The lawsuit never went anywhere. Win: Dan.
- When the story came out that Dan was suing a movie studio for not giving him enough screen time after he had invested money in it, he looked like a spoiled brat. Then Dan presented a contract which very clearly showed that Dan he investing a million bucks in the project in exchange for specific minimums of screen time -- something the studio agreed to, and then reneged because the fussy director didn't like Dan's acting. However, they liked Dan's money and wouldn't return it, despite what the contract said. They ultimately backed down. Win: Dan
- When Dan was arrested for "weapons violations", people thought maybe he had done something violent. Instead, he was simply firing his weapons off with a friend on desolate Nevada federal land, and had technically committed a violation. Lame. It was dropped. Win: Dan
However, this time I admit this looks pretty damn suspect.
