Default Gold/Leyser

I missed the segment on ESPN talking about half of Gold's winnings being held pending an investigation, I searched the forum and couldnt find anything that explained it. What exactly happened?

Nutshell as I understand it:
Apparently Gold had an agreement to give Leyser half his winnings after taxes for some work he did for him, and left him a voice mail to this effect, which Leyser has as evidence.

Visit defamer.com and put in Jamie Gold for more info...

Dude is a producer. He knows about contracts. Why would he agree to give someone half of his winnings? I'm sure he's heard of a sliding scale before (50% of my first $x; 30% of the next $y; etc.)

Because when he made the deal he didn't have any idea he would win it.
