To be fair, the issue isn’t the poker game. This is about some idiot using his businesses $ to pay gambling debts. So he’s in jail. Now he’s suing the guys who he lost to! Only in America. Is John Edwards his lawyer?

If the guy had embezzled money and then bought a yacht, and if the yacht had subsequently been sunk because he was a bad sailor, would these lawyers be suing the yacht maker?
The guy stole, and he spent money badly. What does any of this have to do with poker players?

This stuff happens all the time, though usually on a lower level. Around here, the local bookie (small-time football betting) got busted because somebody’s wife got pissed at her husband for losing a couple thousand bucks, so she ratted out the bookie.

I’m sure all the Hollywood leftists reported this income to the IRS (so that it could be redistributed to the poor). (/sarc)

Tobey is obviously a much better poker player than an actor.
