Mike Postle lost his case in the court of public opinion long ago. But he continues to fight cheating allegations during numerous Stones Live streams. And instead of disclosing the evidence he promised the poker community nearly a year ago, he may have resorted to Twitter trolling.
In essence, Postle scooted by unharmed legally as the judge, William B. Shubb, didn't buy attorney Mac VerStandig case that Postle cheated. But the minds of many poker fans haven't changed despite the legal outcome.
Stepping up his game
Postle — or his anonymous defender — is taking his Twitter trolling game to the next level in an effort to defend his alleged actions. The attacks are getting vicious, to a point where they border on what some might consider cyberbullying.
One of the anonymous accounts — @poker_thug ("Poker Derelict") — took a sarcastic jab at Veronica Brill, the player who initially accused Postle of cheating. "Derelict" joked about Brill being paid to take off her clothes on OnlyFans.
"Derelict" then verbally attacked Jake Rosenthall, one of the plaintiffs in the Postle civil suit.
"Played w/him twice & found him to be the f**kin' asshole douchebag who knows everything about everything there EVER was to know about anything!" @poker_thug wrote about Rosenthall.
Another account — @PokerHeroes1 — is less verbally abusive. But the account is still relentlessly defensive of Mike Postle.
The individual took shots at numerous members of the poker media this past weekend, including yours truly, Jennifer Newell, Haley Hintze, and Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles, the host of the Poker Fraud Alert Radio.
We reached out to @PokerHeroes1 for comment from Postle and for evidence that dispels the notion that he cheated, but didn't get an immediate reply.
Postle has denied the allegations since Brill accused him of cheating nearly a year ago. He immediately told many in the poker media that he would soon release evidence exonerating him, including a large collection of hands that he played poorly. The Northern California poker pro also said back then that we'd all hear his side of the story. It's been nearly a year and he still hasn't provided that evidence.
His friend (or he, himself) — @PokerHeroes1 — however, continues to inform those who ask for evidence to refer to the court proceedings or evidence presented by Rounder Life, a website Postle previously worked for and constantly promotes. "Poker Derelict" has also played the same card, referring those who ask for evidence to the court case and evidence presented by the pro-Postle website. Well, that and insults.
