thank you
its what i do for a living, when its your business you have a deper understanding of it than most people who know more about their professions. I'm c ertainly not the sharpest guy out there but when something comes that I know about, i'm honest about it and share my knowlege, when I dont know about something I'll be the first to admit I dont and I DONT MAKE THINGS UP.
I do believe KT will have some trouble over his new commercial "Debt Cures", That business REALLY crossover with mine and he will catch some heat from that, I think he might have his hands full, the real question here is the First Amendment, you can write anything in a book you want (almost) but going on TV and promoting the book is a gray area of the law, Larry Flynt tested the waters with alot of porn and to quote him "all you can convict me of is bad taste" or something close to that,
Kevin told me personally that that he firmly believes that what he says on TV to promote his books and using exerpts from his books is protected under the First Amendment and by extension the TV commercial. This is untested waters as far as I know there is no case law on this, he is frede to state his opinion "its easy" SVB thinks running 5 racks of 10 ball is easy, well its the same thing and yes both statments are protected, but what about TV? We dont know, and we wont for along time it will be appealed to a higher court, it could go as high as the supreme court-this is a very important case if there is no case law-in court case law is everything.
As far as the FTC lady talking about consumer redress for the people who bought the books thats a dream, aint gonna happen, in his Stipulated Order and Judgment(I read the whole thing) he is permitted to write books it says so clearly and conspicously, Kevin made sure that language was there when he negoitated that, I negoated my order 10 years ago and havent violated it, its a bi-lateral deal between me and the Govt. Same with KT or anyone else. Consumer redress funds never reach the victims of the crime,,,,ever the recovered $$$ is awalys "used" to cover the cost of the investigation, thats a line of shit the FTC uses to look good.
If KT wins this, it will be good for pool because KT will be making tons of $$$ and I know he will be back and has a plan and dosent need the players trust, just remember I said this, i will not elaborate on it.
The down side is the Southern Distruict of Ilionios is the WORST place in the country for marketers to get busted, I have a friend who just got 13 years Fed time and another looking at 17-175 years he was endited 4 yrs 10 months after the civil case was resolved, he has a $104,000,000 judgement aginst him. He thought he was done and the Southern District of Ill popped him criminaly and he will never see daylight, the guy who got 13 years cooperated and was looking at 3-14 and for cooperating he got 1 year off, thats rough. So KT is in hot water because of the venue, he will file a motion to change venues like anyone in their right mind would, if he gets that he'll be fine, if not it will be a tougher road.
In summary he has a legitamate First Amendment case in a tough jurstiction, he has great lawyers, the Natural Cures book will not be troublesome, the Diet Book might be the Debt Cures book will cause him sever penalitys if he dosent win the Freedom of Speech case, he believes he will and saw it comming, he is very smart. It is short sighted to wish bad on him, because he fully intends on doing something with pool and make amends which will take alot of $$$ so he needs to win this case for that to happen, and even looking past him, if people cant go on TV to advertize under the first Amenbdment there will be alot of troubles stemming from that, but back to KT, he wins pool will win-he told me. I also know why what happened happened and it was bad for everyone, you can get mad at the people who outlawed on-line gaming. That was the death of KT's pool venture.
mark my words, if i'm wrong i'll be the firstto admit it, but i'd bet on this one, he'll probably win.
