Re: Fossilman\'s Account Hacked?

If the plaintiffs win and are awarded these damages, I think the WPT would have a tough time surviving as a going concern. It would actually be a form of ironic justice to see the plaintiffs win, only to have their main platform for exposure go out of business.

Their main platform for exposure is the WSOP through ESPN, with Fox probably a distant second. The WPT is going out of business due to it's own poor management decisions, you've noted how little they made despite being first to put together a poker series to cash in on the WSOP poker boom.
If the WPT can't afford to lose this lawsuit, then why won't they settle it in three seconds by making minor changes to the release and bring back some of the most popular players?
The truth is the WPT management doesn't know what they are doing, and they putting themselves out of business. They are already being replaced by better poker shows, the world (including poker pros) isn't going to miss them as the boom will continue without the WPT.
