DN is very vague about how or why he thinks this will be bad for poker. It is only in his latest video blog that he lets the cat out of the bag, if you read between the lines.

He is making a living, and living in the USA, from an online poker site. Any judicial scrutiny of players that have deals with the major online sites could have negative fallout for people like DN (I am not suggesting that it will; nor do I think DN is suggesting that it will; only that it could, and he would prefer they not rock the boat, just to be on the safe side).

When DN says that the lawsuit is not being done on behalf of poker players, perhaps there is some truth to that. He personally, along with his circle of friends (big name pros with substantial income from online poker sites), do not stand to directly gain anything by the lawsuit, but there is potential, however small, that they could suffer from it.

The fact that the ones bringing the lawsuit would suffer just as much as DN if something went wrong is a pretty good indicator to me that they are not acting out of greed. I guess continue to take them at face value unless they prove untrustworthy? At the very least, it is hard to side with DN when he is not giving any arguement, or in fact making any particular claim, other than that it is "just his opinion" and that he thinks it is "bad for poker."
