Claim of $80k+ theft at the National

Gizmo is on a publicity tour right now. He sold both of us showing up to the trial. Still lots of holes and that video did not help his cause, imo, and certainly did not make it any more clear what actually happened. We still only have one person's side of the story. Only thing that gives me reason to pause is that he specifically accused someone of stealing from him and gave us his name. That guy has not made any effort to clear his name, that we know of.

Heck, I'll attend the defamation case if Porter sues him for slander too. The comedic potential here is so high.

There may well have been some sort of robbery; he's really doubling down hard and could face consequences if falsely and undeniably falsely claiming this man stole from him. I ain't no lawyer or a smart feller, but I'm pretty sure my lawyer would advise me to keep my mouth shut publicly at this point still. I hope he comes out at some point and gives his version. An accusation, presented with no evidence, and with no account from the other side, is not much to go on.

Oh my! That would have to be live streamed. We might want secure rights now.

Yeah at this point Gizmo is all in.

The revenue generated from such a live stream might eclipse the supposed value of the allegedly stolen cards.

I may get arrested, charged and tried for smuggling in a camera and streaming the proceedings. It would probably be worth it. Charging $10 a stream I'll have a nice profit after my legal bills.



Because someone always takes it literally: This is a joke and I do not advocate breaking courtroom rules or contempt of court.

Try those spy glasses with a camera and mic built into the frame.

Brilliant! You've just earned an executive producer credit on the movie version.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but guess who is set up at the National again this year:

Question... do dealers ever get banned from the show? Or is it once you are in, you are always in?
