Oh, the irony ... you start with the sentence, "it seems to be a fact." Did you do that on purpose?

[/ QUOTE ]
Of course I wrote it on purpose. Why do you think it's ironic? "It seems to be a fact" is another way of saying "it seems to be true."

That said, in none of the articles I read on the Internet did I see where Gold has stated he was not going to pay Leyser or anyone else.

[/ QUOTE ]
He hasn't paid. Moreover, in his statement, Gold didn't say he was going to pay. He said he was going to resolve it in court.

[ QUOTE ]
But, I tend to think that Gold is trying to tie up a lot of loose ends he has - 50% to Layser, 10% to Chan, and what percent to anyone else? ... The point that I a making is that there are very valid reasons, many dicsussed above, as to why Gold might be delayed in releasing the money.

There are no loose ends. You're making this much more complicated than it is. If Leyser is entitled to half, then Gold won't pay taxes on Leyser's share. There's no busywork that needs to be done. The only thing that needs to be done is for Gold to authorize Harrah's to pay Leyser.

Outside of 2p2, I haven't read a single source that says it is because he intends to keep all for himself.

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't think he could possibly keep it all for himself, but it's obvious to me that he's trying to pay out less than 50%.
