I can only comment somewhat on this, because I'm going to retain legal counsel and follow their advice regarding what to say and not to say publicly.
However, I will state this:
1) The lawsuit is obviously frivolous. I will vigorously fight this lawsuit, and will not settle under any circumstances.
2) I have never been sued before as a result of anything PokerFraudAlert-related, or related to any forum or social media. However, as an outspoken member of the community who calls out wrongdoing, I have always known that a day like this might come. I am ready to fight this, and am confident that this malicious attempt to silence my speech will not be successful.
are you trolling? You got me on a ruse before don't remember what it was oh yeah something about site being sued but it was a ruse. It was on april 1 btw get the site atty on this imo. Someone should feed his teeth to him analy gl don't think this is a ruse.
Also, it's worth noting that instead of suing Hanson, Polk, Galfond, Little, and Berkey directly, he is suing their LLCs: Crush Live Poker (Hanson), Solve For Why (Berkey), Upswing Poker (Polk), Jonathan Little Holdings (Little), and Run It Once (Galfond).
This appears to be an attempt to reach into deep pockets.
Also, don't make too much of "John Does 1 to 1000".
That is a standard legal mechanism which allows the plaintiff to dodge the statute of limitations by giving them the ability to add more plaintiffs later.
This is very common in such suits, and shouldn't be read as anything significant.
good thing have the site attorney ben perfect for him
Please make this backfire in that fuckers face.
All vile people I’d laugh to see bankrupt. God I hope he wins.
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'!!!
He should be the one apologizing, after using PFA to post pics of khalwat's kids, just because he doesn't like Bart Hanson. And now somehow I'm the asshole for banning him for doing that callous and shitty thing.
But whatever, I don't want to hijack this thread to talk about that guy.
This is so gross, hope you win todd
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.
If this guy was cheating then he’s got some brass balls to then take out a law suit against his accusers
It would be next level high risk bluff which makes me think he in fact has the goods.
Relaxed libel laws. The future that Republicans want. Thoughts and prayers.
What a fucking idiot!!! Doesn’t the loser in such lawsuits in the US pay for the legal fees of the winners???
