4 years ago16 Nov
The lawyer at the centre of the Mike Postle alleged cheating scandal took to the airwaves to discuss the case that has gripped the poker community, revealing that he now represents 76 players in the $30million lawsuit
Mac Verstandig appeared on the Rake E007 podcast with well-known pros Jamie Kerstetter and Marle Cordeiro to chat about everything Postle-related.

That included another revelation, that a criminal investigation is most definitely underway into the StonesLive Poker scandal, Mike Postle accused of working with others to cheat his way to an estimated $250,000 haul.
Justice the American Way
The veteran attorney who has focused on representing poker players for some time now explained: âI could not arrest Mike Postle if I wanted toâ, as the discussion touched on the 2plus2 forum and some of the more fanciful posts there.
âWe are seeking justice in the most American of ways, which is an economic way,â said Verstandig, as he outlined the difference between civil and criminal law. âWe are seeking to have Mr. Postle, Stones, Mr. Kuraitis, and John Does â whoever they may turn out to be â repay our clients for the money they lost at the tablesâŚand punitive damages.â
With Cordeiro herself now among those seeking redress, the intriguing chat saw Verstandig reveal that both Matt Berkey and Danielle 'dmoongirl' Andersen will be among the expert witnesses called to give evidence if and when things go to trial.
Teaching poker to the jury
âIâm going to have to teach the jury to play pokerâ said Verstandig, joking that the jury, âwill walk out of there with $20-$30,000 of really high-end poker coaching!â
Asking 12 men and women good and true to decide on poker questions wonât be easy, the lawyer explaining heâll have to âStart with hand ranksâ and move his way up through âreverse range analysisâŚpotsizing and betting and fold equity.â
Subpoenaing phone records
Phone records are being subpoenaed to get to the bottom of what Verstandig calls a âspectacularly brazenâ cheating scam. He adds that his legal team â which includes Kelly 'The_Illest' Minkin â have already discovered some âincredibly sexy goodiesâ as they sift through the evidence.
A goddamn American hero
Verstandig describes the Postlegate whistleblower Veronica Brill as âa goddamn American heroâ and adds that the work done by Joey Ingram, Matt Berkey and many others in the poker community has been an invaluable help to the case.
There were several amusing throwaway lines in the half-hour chat, with Verstandig telling his hosts:
âIn days of yore, people didnât come to my law office (I didnât have one)âŚthey took people out back and at high noon there was a rope drawn from a tree and thatâs what happened to cheaters.â
Naturally there were things that Verstandig couldnât â or wouldnât â discuss, but it was a timely update on the biggest poker scandal of the decade so far.
