   1. The quotation from Popehat was actually not commenting on me–it was pointing out that irrespective of what I “may” be, Judge Kozinski had displayed extremely poor judgment, something he later admitted. This was a response to the horde of judicial sycophants who attacked me for pointing out public judicial wrongdoing.

   2. Anonymous “commentators” on a blog are not authorities on anything and cannot be called members of the LA legal “community”. I received lots of support from actual community of real lawyers, as opposed to those who play them on Internet blogs.

   3. I’ve been a paid, part-time member of the MSM for decades.

   4. I’m also an English solicitor, with no “official scratches” there either.

   5. This case is not about me, it is about what happened to Lary Kennedy. It is a fight the principals of FTP brought on themselves; I spent months trying to resolve this matter informally, including holding an unsuccessful mediation, before filing the lawsuit.

   1. Cool, thanks for the info.

   2. I agree they may not be “authorities” … but whether we like it or not, commentors are part of the community. You clearly have some haters out there and they apparently have better SEO than your biggest public fans.

   3. I have no idea what MSM is. Mainstream Media maybe?

   4. Ahh, those Brits …

   5. Fair enough, and indeed this jibes with what I’ve heard about other Full Tilt cases. If you have a plausibly legitimate beef and seek, say, $3mm, they will counter with something like $75k.

   3. You got it.

   5. Yes, those offer to claim proportions sound right to me! I’m interested in learning about FTP’s practices in other similar cases. It seems pretty clear that my client was in no way treated atypically, except in that she is willing to fight the wrongdoing.

   Regarding Mr. Sanai’s assertion that “This case is not about me”, that is, of course correct, unless his poor clients wind up in a widening universe of courts wherein their attorney has been sanctioned, has personally attacked judges, engaged in conduct regarded by most lawyers and judges alike as beyond the pale and/or in which their attorney has poisoned the well–including but not limited to any federal court within the 9th Circuit.

   Mr. Sanai is a bright and talented lawyer who comes with a lot of political baggage.

   Commentator “stepheng” is a sterling example of the attitude which allows corruption and injustice to fester. Ultimately it is based on the view that most judges do not decide cases before them based on the facts and law, but whether they personally like the lawyer or client. It’s a view that is sadly true in some jurisdictions, but not Los Angeles County Superior Court, the Second Appellate District of the Court of Appeal, or the California Supreme Court.

   There’s nothing wrong with personally attacking judges who have committed misconduct; indeed I hold the record in California state court for removing the largest number of judges for misconduct in a single case.

   Obviously, the FTP case is in state court, not federal court, so speculating on the Ninth Circuit’s attitudes since my exposure of Circuit Judge Kozinski is pretty irrelevant. The reality in the federal system, as seen by recent disciplinary cases involving federal Judges Kent (sexual assault and perjury), Porteous (bribery and perjury), and Nottingham (perjury and solicitation of perjury) is that there is a substantial amount of criminal misconduct by federal judges that is only being fitfully addressed. Ethical judges know this, and do not hold it against me or my clients.

   Indeed, stepheng’s comments are quite extraordinarily insulting to Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Minning, to whom the FTP case has been assigned. The comments presume that the case will be decided not by the facts and law presented to Judge Minning in court, but rather by Judge Minning’s ex parte consideration of events in other unrelated cases, which would of course be judicial misconduct. I have no reason at this time to believe that Judge Minning will do anything other than adjudicate the case based on the facts and law presented to him in court.

   Stepheng’s assertion that I have committed “conduct regarded by most lawyers and judges alike as beyond the pale” is nonsense, and pointing to anonymous comments from a blog whose commentators are largely ACORN-obsessed, Obama-despising, judicial misconduct-defending conspiracy theorists does not support the point. Disclosing a federal Judge’s distribution of porn is only “beyond the pale” to people who were receiving or wished they were receiving such stuff themselves.

   And to think that what pushed you over the edge was a $2,500 rent dispute. Cy, you need to get a grip. On a positive note, I’m glad to see that you’re no longer sporting the all-black Johnny Cash look.

   “Thelenite”? While there were plenty of excellent lawyers at that firm when I was there, I can’t say I would ever want to associate myself with that management fiasco. I still bring up the BSC acquisition as the stupidest thing I ever saw a law firm do.

   And for your information, this case has nothing to do with rent. It involves poker. I’ll be happy to send you a copy of the complaint, Thelenite, if you post an email address for your firm (assuming you were one of the lucky ones who found a job when it went under).
