Yeah, I saw this.Quote:

On the other hand, I think domain squatters are scum. That's the reason I don't have toddwitteles.com. Some asshole from Los Angeles registered it the day after I won my bracelet in 2005. I tried to make an ICANN claim against him, and I drew up a legal document that would have made Alvin Finklestein proud.
Unfortunately, I was drawing dead due to a technicality. You need a "service mark" or copyright in order to reclaim a domain of that name registered by someone else. I had no copyright on Todd Witteles, and I couldn't get credit for an "implied service mark" because I was not using my name itself to make money prior to the domain registration (such as selling Todd Witteles poker merchandise.) The arbitrator said that the other parts of my claim were sound, and I would have won without that technicality.
But I still lost. And I obviously wasn't paying that asshole the $1500 he wanted for my own name.
Mason won't get any money out of Dutch because I believe he's either broke or can at least credibly claim to be broke. Still, he's in a better spot to collect than he is against Yebsite's fake Anthony Scocozza name.

Is every member of "the crew" broke. Is Gank still trying to get in Wall Street. Did Joe Bartholdi blow all of his winnings from his WPT Championship?Quote:

You really don't think Mason will ever get any money ut of Dutch? Mason has shown that he will never stop pursuing this kind of shit and wants to make people pay that fuck with him.Quote:

Mason is a total control freak.
However, pursuing judgments from guys like Dutch is a huge pain in the ass. Collecting judgments should be a lot easier than it is, but unfortunately the laws favor the deadbeats. If you know where the person works, you can garnish their paycheck fairly easily. However, getting money out of the self-employed is tough, and getting money out of degenerates like Dutch is even harder.
Mason would have to identify Dutch's bank accounts, find out not just the bank but also his home branch (I always found this to be ridiculous), and garnish the bank account before Dutch withdraws the money from it.
In reality, I bet Dutch has very little in his bank accounts, and his entire net worth is sitting in a safety deposit box somewhere or perhaps even under his bed.
If Dutch owned a home, Mason could put a lien against it, but I don't think he does.
Could Mason use this judgment to take money directly out of Dutch's tournament winnings? I'm not sure about that one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Mason would need a court order for that, and I don't think there's time to get one, given that most tournaments go by so quickly.
I think Mason would be happy to collect, but I just don't see him expending the time, money, and effort to do so, just to get nowhere. He might try to collect initially, but I bet he'll give up quickly.
I think the most important thing was to set an example, and he managed to do that.
Getting a judgment against a known name like Dutch Boyd makes a lot more of an impression than a judgment against some Scranton nobody named Anthony Scocozza.
How is it any of Masons bussnies what ESPN does. Sounds unreal. What happend? Did they do an article?Quote:

I noticed my post on 2p2 was jacked but I had the foresight to take a screen shot first
AND FUCK MASON MALMUTH!
i agree with the sentiments in this thread.
Im still amazed that a guy like Mason gets the cred he does. Hes never cashed, let alone win, in a WPT, WSOP, EPT or any other acronym major poker tournament in his life. He has a nice thing going with 2+2 but some have suggested he lucksacked into that.Quote:
