A lot of this complaint will be thrown out of court for making determinations which are not consistent with the law, and drawing conclusions which have not been proven.
Also, to clarify one point in case someone asks, poker is NOT included in this complaint. Poker is not illegal in California, so long as it is not stud poker, and thus they are unable to take any action against this form of “gambling”.
Once all of the BS is thrown out (ie. senior citizens being milked out of their money) and certain determinations corrected (ie. a particular well-known casino, in fact probably many of those named, being called “illegal” when in fact they reside in legal jurisdictions and operate legally), what’s left is that these are two sore losers looking to get some money back and using the residents of the State of California as pawns whether or not they actually agree to the action being taken.
I’m not going to speculate on the outcome because I really don’t have the tools to do so – I do know that there is a lot of stuff in there which is present solely for the purpose of influencing the court, not because it is actually correct.
I do believe, however, that at least some of the defendants will get off scot-free.
I actually came within an inch of becoming part of this, at least after reading the complaint, for one of the publications named is one I wrote for, and my writings deal directly with the things which they are complaining about LOL. Thank GOODNESS these guys are building a case for show and clearly NOT thorough enough to build a STRONG case.
