Jamie Gold Responds to $12 M WSOP Lawsuit

If Jamie wanted to avoid looking like a tool, he could have made a statement to the media, saying, "I understand Crispin's desire to protect his share of our winnings. I have evey intention of paying out his 50% share, though I am in consultation with my lawyers to determine the most beneficial way to do so."

No. He certainly wouldn't make a statement like that. He's worked in Hollywood long enough to know that any statements you make will come back to bite you in the ass. I agree with the other poster who wrote that this was simply a tactic by Gold to negotiate a lower settlement as he certainly didn't expect to win the 12 million. There's nothing wrong with that.
