"...he seems to have deliberately stolen a quarter of a million,.."


Yup, but folks steal huge sums of money all the time, be it bank robberies, insider trading, general scams, & they don't get subjected to this level of vitriol. It's too much, imo. 

The reason this gets more publicity on a poker forum is because we can all see it, it is intersting, and we are all a bit intrigued,  so all have a view.  Someone mentioned the similar Glasgow scam, but we haven't seen it, and it is all a bit heresay, so nobody has much to say.

On the others it really depends on the publicity. Somebody who has overcharged a pensioner a few thousand and has Dom pop by with BBC camera gets subject to more than his fair share of vitriol, your average insider trader probably not.   I don't think anyone has been round his house, and I assume that plod hasn't felt his collar yet.  I don't even think it has got a lot of mainstream publicity, so it doesn't feel excessive to me yet.

So what's everyone's thoughts on the outcome for Postle ?

Heard he has took a vacation abroad.

Think Stones are more in trouble , financially , by facilitating the whole thing.

Postle  , guess is he will declare himself bankrupt .

Be interesting if it gets to a criminal trial instead of a civil one and he does a plea
bargain and spills the beans on his accomplice.

It's going to be awful for Stones, for sure.

Postle? No idea. When he is being - rightly, it must be said - battered on all sides across social-media & even TV, I worry a little for him. It's bullying & it's not nice to observe, & it must be pretty terrible for him to endure. Does he deserve it? Of course he does. If he self-harmed in some way though, well, I hope nobody wants to see that.

If he cheated, he deserves to have the book thrown at him, but he must be going through hell right now, & it's not a pretty sight.

Send him to prison for a few years, I'm cool with that, make him bankrupt, yeah, that too. But what he is going through right now is a bit too much imo, even if he is a dirty rotten cheat.


Let’s not bully criminals
May upset them

Joey & Doug are milking it for subscribers rather than revealing new stuff.


this is a very valid point.

it's mainly a witch hunt. will be interesting to see how this affects the legal case that has been brought.

Bump.

Postle sues everybody for saying bad things about him.

Better watch out what we say about cheating scumbags.

Justin and Postles response to all this has been bizarre to say the least!
