Jamie Gold Responds to $12 M WSOP Lawsuit

[BeaucoupFish]

From the ealier CP article:

Leyser claims the breach of their contract <font color="blue"> has caused and will continue to cause him irreparable harm</font>. He’s also stated publicly, “if Gold obtains the total sum of the winnings, Leyser <font color="blue"> will suffer further irreparable harm</font>.”

Some poster claimed to know this guy and described him as a stand-up guy. Sounds like a guy after a quick buck (6 million in fact).

Legality of any agreement aside, perhaps the two decided to split the winnings, say $20-40k if Gold actually made it into the money, if the dude helped Gold find celebrities to endorse Bodog.

Nice little earner, no problems there.

But Gold actually made it BIG. How on Earth does this justify a $6M payday?

If this is how it went, it's pure greed and makes me feel pretty sick.
