More Leyser-Gold drama

I'm reluctant to post this, because I have no corroboration for it, but this is News, Views, and Gossip. I received an email from someone unknown to me who purported to be a friend of Leyser. In this email, I was told that Leyser believed that he was going to get to play in the Main Event in exchange for finding the celebs. In his mind, getting half of Gold was not "a highly advantageous freeroll" but a very poor substitute for his own seat in the Main.

I'm fairly certain this is covered in the court filings. The bit about Leyser playing, anyway. The implication was that Gold had suggested he'd get a seat for finding celebs, and when the celebs turned out to be rather less than 'A' list, he was forced to make do with half of whatever Gold won.

If I'd been in his shoes, I would have thought that was equivalent to bupkis as well.
