The obvious implication is that you, Mason Malmuth, feel the need for a legal shield that may help prevent a lawsuit that could diminish your assets in some way.

Are you implying that you are unable to construct a statement of opinion without crossing some legal boundary?

Souldn't all who post here share that same fear? If so, shouldn't you post a major warning to all who participate in this forum?

You're playing with scared money.

That's cowardice.

Maybe the statement can include something about the poker carveout process. Or will that come and go before Mason speaks?

Mason's still trying to contact his lawyer who apparently is traveling around Europe without a phone or fax machine.

Since I have made the (temporary?) decision to put off my burgeoning career as a poker player and cleaned out my accounts I find myself with a boatload of time on my hands. I wandered around for a couple of days trying to teach myself the "government approved" games but I'm not really good at scratchers and apparently I can't pick the right six numbers, so lately I've turned myself into an investigative reporter.

Naturally, I'm new at this and wasn't sure what to investgate first when I realized that Mason has mysteriously disappeared. So the search began...

First of all, I'm happy to report that Mason is fine. When I finally cornered him he made it clear that he still does not have a statement. But because it took me several days to finally get him to speak on the record I was able to capture several interesting quotes when Mason did not realize I was near.

Mason's wife: "Honey? Does this dress make me look fat?"
Mason: "Sweetie, I'm in the poker business. I'm not a dietician so therefore I'm cannot tell. It's not what I do. I thought you knew that."

Mason's kid: "Dad do you think the Yankees can beat the Tigers?"
Mason: "What? How should I know? I mean, it's not what I do. I can't tell you anything about baseball...I write about poker and I do that well. Baseball is something that I have no experience in."

(after a night at the movies and watching "Man of the Year" starring Robin Williams)
Mason's friend: "Man that was funny! Did you think it was funny?"
Mason: "Look, I write about poker, I am not a comedian nor am I a movie critic. There is no way I could determine whether or not that movie was funny. It's not what I do. What do you want from? I just can't comment on it."

(at dinner the following night)
Waiter: "And for you sir?"
Mason: "C'mon! I play and write about poker. That's what I do. I'm not a chef so how am I supposed to respond to questions like this? I hope my imaginary friend 'Lawyer' gets back soon...I'm friggin' starving...maybe! Don't quote me on that because I'm not a doctor. I might not be starving."

[/ QUOTE ]

I have only laughed at 4 things on 2p2: Jman's thread about scamming a scammer (absolute best), Snakes on a Plane, Raptor Christ, and now this. Well done. I'm sure even Mason laughed, if he's still alive.

Would somebody just shoot and kill this thread already, and put it out of my misery?

I just saw on the news that an Amber Alert has been issued for both Mason and his attorney.

That attorney must be on one HELLUVA vacation. How much does Mason pay that guy, anyway?
