Re: Jamie Gold\'s mistake in WSOP 2006
1 - I don't think Gold thought he would ever have to pay a penny to Leyser
2 - I don't know the settlement terms but the rumors are he paid in the $3-4m range anyway
3 - Gold is a "producer" and probably figured an outright win would mean promotional riches beyond anything he would owe Leyser
4 - I'm pretty sure the agreement with Leyser was for half of anything he won which would be half of anything he won. Not sure how a settlement would get around that. If it was part of the tourny proceeds it would divided per the terms of an agreement; if it was outside the tourny then it would be a gift and Wasicka would have to pay taxes on anything over $12k he gave to Gold.
Isn't this a little late, anyway?
