I don't get why he was sentenced to prison. People sell crap that doesn't work all the time. Was it solely based on the fact he discredited the gov't? The way I see it, if you're dumb enough to buy it you deserve to lose your money.:shrug:
Here we go again with the Little Joey third grade nonsense defense, "But Miss Applebee, Billy did it first, so I can do it too". Doesn't fly in the grownup, sensible, world.
Look, if something is unethical and/or fraudulent it doesn't matter who did it before, after, bigger, more, or better, it's ALL unethical and/or fraudulent and just because someone else did/does/will do it, doesn't make it right, never.
This sociopathic attitude currently permeates throughout our society, but nowhere as much so as in the pool world. IMO

The guy's history of pulling scams and pushing his luck is endless, and goes well beyond what is written in the article.
To put it another way, the guy is about as close to "human garbage" as a person can be.
The reason he went to prison isn't just for the people he ripped off, but that every time the courts gave him orders or fines he kept flipping them the bird. It finally caught up to him.

And yet "pool" embraced this idiot. I had no idea until I joined this forum...wow talk about getting fleas by laying down with a dog. Incredibly dumb.
Pool embraced him because he had payouts the poolworld never seen until
Kevin entered the ring.
He was loved by the big guns of pool, not because of his vast pool knowledge
but because of his wallet.
Is it Kevin thats the issue or the people that embraced him and rolled out
the red carpet for him in hopes that he could get pool back on the map.
Money first, people second,until this changes the world will always be
smoke and mirrors.
How does 10 years of prison pay back any victims?
His crime was simply not obeying. We each would be wise to remember that when our time comes.

I would think that he still owes the money, even with the sentence for not paying it, which was considered contempt of court.
