IMO, he has NO moral argument. Blaming the casino?????
He'd have a case if the whole story was a lie but he had admitted he was there gambling huge sums of money.
I have no problem with him gambling with his own money. He earned it. I have a big probem with him objecting to that fact being made public.

Release of the information was not legal...but you have no problem with its release?

"He'd have a case if the whole story was a lie but he had admitted he was there gambling huge sums of money."
So you think casinos should be able to release names and amounts won/lost for all gamblers? How about if your name was on the list? Would you want that information made public, or do you think the casino should be keeping that information confidential?

When you engage in business with someone, you expect them to maintain a certain amount of confidentiality. Would you want your laundromat to tell people about the skid marks on your underwear? Would you want your garbagemen to tell people how many liquor bottles were in your garbage? Would you want the video store to tell people what movies you rented? EVERYBODY has done some stuff they'd just as soon the whole world didn't know about. I was joking about his suing the casinos, but this was a hit on him, with totally legal actions being treated like a scandal.
Just don't be surpised to open up the paper one day and read that someone found out you still dress up like Billy Jack and walk around your apartment on Saturday night threatening to kick Bernard Posner's butt (I'm sorry. Was that supposed to be a secret?).

This isn't privacy rights...huh??? Then the Las Vegas Tourism ad is a BIG FAT LIE. No Gambler....NONE....want their wins or their losses put in the paper. It's almost as sacrosanct as a Doctor/Patient relationship.
