Robbi's husband, Charles Lew, came onto Chicago Joey's show and spoke for awhile. The guy was actually fairly likable, and raised some good points. However, he repeated several times that it's too late for apologies, and strongly implied that he's going to be suing Garrett, and perhaps also Hustler Casino Live. He stopped short of implying that he would do a Mike Postle style lawsuit against people on social media who made allegations. It especially seems like he wants a pound of flesh from Garrett.
Charles Lew is a "boutique attorney" specializing in crypto. I have not researched him, but others I know have, and they tell me he's worth a lot of money. So he definitely has the resources to launch a lawsuit against Garrett and/or HCL, but this also might just be blowing smoke in order to get Garrett to return the $135k and retract his statements.
Charles also seems to be taking major issue with people calling his wife "dumb", and he repeated this several times when on Joey's show. He seems particularly miffed at Doug Polk for both referring to Robbi as dumb AND for spreading the rumor that she's having an affair with her friend Rip/Jacob, who also was in the game, and whom she later confirmed is "staking her 50%". Charles said that he is not aware of any affair, and "am not a willing participant in any open relationship". But that's a weird way to phrase it, right? Couldn't he simply say that he's certain that Robbi and Rip are just friends?
He claimed that he got the bill for the Fendi sunglasses she was wearing (meaning they're not cheating sunglasses), that her ring is a piece of jewelry he bought her (and therefore is not some kind of signaling device), and that her pants were far too tight to conceal any kind of device to vibrate when she has the best hand.
He repeatedly stated that Robbi was "sequestered" by Ryan Feldman, and told to go into the hallway with Garrett, at which point Garrett allegedly told her that "millions of people will be seeing this", in order to scare her into giving the money back.
Charles was also angry that Nick Vertucci said that something big/interesting would be coming out today, and he said that implied something would be released showing Robbi's guilt. I said the same thing when I heard it -- that anything "big" coming out would have to be negative against her, as there's no way something big could come out so fast which would prove she WASN'T cheating. He claimed he threatened Hustler that there will be legal consequences if they make such a "big news" statement again, unless "there really is big news".
Right afterwards, HCL co-owner came onto Joey's show right after Charles, and said he spoke to him "4 times" today. He said he originally tried to get Charles to mediate between him and Robbi, who supposedly was texting him "aggressively". Nick claimed he and Charles had good conversations, and was surprised to hear Charles make these legal threats against HCL. He also took Charles to task for complaining that HCL didn't ask Robbi to give up her stuff for them to examine. Nick said that HCL didn't do this because they didn't want to look accusatory, and claimed that Charles agreed with that decision earlier today. Good points on Nick's part. He also said he's not going to respond to Robbi's texts anymore.
I still want to know if HCL took that deck and examined it. If not, why? Huge omission in the investigation if they don't do that.
