The charges against Caesars and Griffin were for libel and false imprisonment. The jury found in favor of James and Mike on every charge.
As late as the closing arguments, Griffin's attorney was attempting to paint these honest skilled advantage players as cheaters, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
James, Mike and Bob Nersesian put in an incredible amount of time, work, and analysis, as well as a substantial amount of money, to achieve this outcome. They were determined from the start to obtain justice, no matter what it took, and they remain determined, no matter what it may take in the future. They also went through serious hardship and stress to obtain this result.
Bill Zender, one of the very few people in the gaming industry who actually understands the games and advantage play, was a voice of competence and honesty as an expert witness, as opposed to George Joseph, whose testimony came down to, in my opinion, a bunch of lies and card tricks.
One thing that became apparent in the trial is that the casino industry will scour everything a player has ever written and take it out of context to try to portray him as a scum in court. Therefore, we are going to wait until the punitive damages have been decided and we have a chance to talk more with the players before we post any further comment. You already know that this is a historic event for players....
