Default Re: More Leyser-Gold drama

Do you really think it matters what a low level judge thinks?

Actually, yes. Quite a bit. A federal district judge's findings of fact get substantial deference on any appeal. Errors of law are a different story, but a ruling from the trial judge saying that he believes Gold made a promise to Leyser in exchange for Leyser's promise to obtain celebrities is very, very hard to reverse.

Given that this judge is the trier of fact, I'd say the odds are about four to one in Leyser's favor.

Are u asking for a prop bet? I'll lay 3k with your odds that Leyser doesn't win 6 million. We can have an elder poster hold the money in escrow.
